Well that’s… unfortunate. I’d like to know how the fuck that got past editors, typesetters and peer reviewers. I hope this is some universally ignored low impact factor pay to print journal.
We all know Elsevier only upholds the highest standards, after all why would they have such a large market share?
That name. Being a hobbyist with niche interests has made me hate them so very much. Scihub forever.
because they're all as bad as most of us and only read the headline :(

The author is in the comments apologizing for the mistake.
I understand that English probably isn't his first language, but this reads like he used ChatGPT to write his apology
The people who run the journal are more at fault here. This is pure Elsevier hate.
It looks more like there are multiple people to blame here for this cluster-fuck? :-P
Yes.
"Editorial review performed by AI"
Editors, typesetters and peer reviewers have also been replaced with AI.
Since the rest of the paper looks decent (I am no expert in this field), I have a guess: it got to review and it came back with a 'minor review' and the comment 'please summarize XY at the end'.
In low impact journals minor reviews are handeled in a way, that the editor trusts the scientists to address minor changes accordingly. Afterwards it goes to production, where some badly payed people – most of the time from India – put everything in format, send out a proof with a deadline of max 2 days and then it will be published.
I don't want to defend this practice, but thats how something like this can get through.
They were using AI to proof it
