ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

SCIgen

Scigen is a computer program that makes fake academic papers. It's like when you play dress up and pretend to be someone else, but with words instead of clothes.

Scigen can make papers about anything, even things that aren't real, like talking unicorns or magic spells. But the papers look real and have all the parts that real academic papers have, like an introduction, methods, results, and conclusion.

Sometimes people use Scigen to make papers as a joke or to prove that academic journals don't always check if the papers they publish are real or fake. But it's important to know that real academic papers are based on hard work and research, not just made up for fun.
