Well shit, I was just bitching about Elsevier in another thread! Since this thread might attract some brains with the experience I need, if you know a good way save a chapter from their digital textbooks, please share! Frustrated with how restrictive the textbooks THAT I PAID FULL PRICE FOR are.

To be fair, from a quick glance, a good chunck of those articles are about ChatGPT/other AI and showing output from it as examples in the text

Though there are certain many that are not related to AI that show up in the results.....

Someone is for sure making a video titled ‘top ten things to search & replace that give away your paper as ai generated’ as we speak, and this is #1. The smart ones are selling a plug in that does it for you.
