E. M. Wolkovich, an associate professor, was accused of using ChatGPT to write a manuscript, leading to its rejection. She vehemently denied the accusation and highlighted the flaws in the peer-review process and the potential for AI to corrupt science unintentionally. Wolkovich emphasized the need for explicit standards on the use of AI in manuscript writing and plans to use version-control systems for all her writing to provide a clear paper trail.
ChatGPT and other AI chatbots can be valuable tools for supporting research by assisting with brainstorming topics, generating outlines, suggesting sources, and even creating citations. While ChatGPT is not connected to the internet, it can still provide helpful prompts and suggestions for research papers, presentations, and studies. However, for accessing internet links and specific resources, chatbots like Bing Chat may be more suitable. Overall, AI chatbots can streamline the research process and save time for students, professionals, and researchers.
Researchers at the University of Kansas have developed an AI detector that can identify AI-generated content in academic papers with 99% accuracy. The detector was trained using 128 articles created by ChatGPT, and had a 100% accuracy rate in identifying human-created articles from AI-generated ones. However, AI detectors have not proven to be 100% accurate, as some educators have falsely labeled assignments as AI-generated. Several existing programs and services also promise to identify AI-written content, including TurnitIn, Copyleaks, Winston AI, OpenAI’s Classifier, and AI Writing Check.
