A nonsensical academic paper on nuclear physics written only by iOS autocomplete has been accepted for a scientific conference. “Since I have practically no knowledge of nuclear physics I resorted to iOS autocomplete function to help me writing the paper,” he wrote in a blog post on Thursday. “I started a sentence with ‘atomic’ or ‘nuclear’ and then randomly hit the autocomplete suggestions. The nonsensical paper was accepted only three hours later, in an email asking Bartneck to confirm his slot for the “oral presentation” at the international conference. That might be a funny one.”The conference’s call for abstracts makes only a little more sense than Bartneck’s paper.
