OMG, really?
This reminds me of another incident that happened, in MIT, where doctoral students designed a software to write a journal given certain keywords and title. Yes, the software will write a journal with bombastic words and generate graphs and stuff, it seems. They submitted to a journal and they accepted!!!
Crazy ppl.
