Retracted (gate closed) 12 months or 365 days after publication with 100s of citations.
“A study that claimed OpenAI’s ChatGPT can positively impact student learning has been retracted nearly one year after publication. The journal publisher, Springer Nature, cited “discrepancies” in the analysis and a lack of confidence in the conclusions—but not before the paper racked up hundreds of citations and made the rounds on social media.”

@dahukanna@mastodon.social We need a different system for good publications. If we really look at "refereed" journals they are closer to predatory journals than one would think. Except that the referees are usually less biased than the referees of predatory journals and retractions sometimes do happen. Damage done, just like vaccines and autism, smoking and lung cancer, fossil fuels and climate change.
