How ChatGPT and other AI tools could disrupt scientific publishing

When Nature surveyed researchers on what they thought the biggest benefits
of generative AI might be for science, the most popular answer was that it
would help researchers who do not have English as their first language (see
‘Impacts of generative AI’ and Nature 621, 672–675; 2023)...

Some researchers, however, argue that LLMs are too ethically murky to
include in the scientific publishing process. A main concern lies in the
way LLMs work: by trawling Internet content without concern for bias,
consent or copyright, says Iris van Rooij, a cognitive scientist at Radboud
University in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. She adds that generative AI is
“automated plagiarism by design”, because users have no idea where such
tools source their information from. If researchers were more aware of this
problem, they wouldn’t want to use generative AI tools, she argues.
