In recent months, artificial intelligence technologies have emerged, facilitating scientific writing, even creating texts in a fluid and correct way. This could revolutionize scientific production, it is already doing so...
No, it is not! How about this example?

It’s simply self-defeating. In that case just what is the role of the human being? It seems that one doesn’t need a human being in that role at all and can and should not hire such people at all.
Said differently, a human being should make a point of not being conflated with a machine. It’s not a question of ethics, but of intelligence: A human that behaves like a machine is essentially asking to be replaced by one.
It took TikTok, a famously addictive and popular video streaming app, about nine months from its global launch to reach 100 million users. By comparison, analysts say ChatGPT achieved the same feat in just two months. As usage and demand has soared across academia, edtech giants and plucky start-ups are vying to create potentially lucrative tools to combat the use of AI in assessments. But trying to detect academic writing generated by artificial intelligence poses a different challenge to those that plagiarism detection methods have dealt with up to now. Meanwhile, it brings fresh challenges about the risks of “false positives” wrongly accusing students of cheating, and mounting concern about the influence of for-profit tools on academic integrity decisions...

What ChatGPT and generative AI mean for science
Researchers are excited but apprehensive about the latest advances in artificial intelligence...
But the excitement about the use of such tools is tempered with apprehension, because of their propensity to make factual errors, reproduce biases in training data and provide fuel for fakery. They also rely on humans to tag reams of violent, abusive and other horrific content so that it can be filtered out, and require a huge amount of energy to train...

It is negligent and just stupid. These engines only obey statistical patterns but do not understand what is a fact or causal effects. AI has the potential to be relied upon, but not at this stage of development and with the training methods that are being used.
Sadly, until someone relies on it and a tragedy happens, then people will not heed the warning. Note that, this is not being a Luddite, but being sensible and aware that the technology is not there yet (and around the world, there are many amazing researchers working to get the technology to where people think it is).
Over the years, academic integrity has been both supported and tested by technology. Today, educators are facing a new frontier with AI writing and ChatGPT...

ChatGPT in Academic Writing and Publishing: A Comprehensive Guide
Scientific writing is a difficult task that requires clarity, precision, and rigour. It also involves a large amount of research, analysis, and synthesis of information from various sources. However, scientific writing is also hard, time-consuming, and susceptible to errors. Advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models, such as ChatGPT, can simplify academic writing and publishing. ChatGPT has many applications and uses in academic and scientific writing and publishing such as hypothesis generation, literature review, safety recommendations, troubleshooting, tips, paraphrasing and summarising, editing, and proofreading, journal selection, journal style formatting, and other applications.
In this book chapter, we will discuss the main advantages, examples, and applications of ChatGPT in academic and scientific writing from research conception to publishing.

AI could rescue scientific papers from the curse of jargon
Models like ChatGPT and Claude can rewrite papers to make them easier to read — but can they do it without compromising scientific accuracy?
Powerful new text-generating AIs offer a potentially low-cost way to make academic research much easier to read and understand.
Readability matters because science should be fun...

AI IS EXCITING & ETHICAL MINEFIELD
From the start, ChatGPT fueled parents’ and teachers’ fears about cheating. How could educators – or college admissions officers, for that matter – figure out if an essay was written by a human or a chatbot?
But AI sparks more fundamental questions about writing, according to Naomi Baron, an American University linguist who studies technology’s effects on language. AI’s potential threat to writing isn’t just about honesty, but about the ability to think itself...

Social scientists are key to developing artificial intelligence tools and to understanding the implications of their introduction. “This shapes how AI evolves,” says leading physicist and economist Professor Sergei Guriev, provost of French research university Sciences Po. “The most important questions are about philosophy and ethics.”...

Science publishers are already experimenting with generative AI in scientific search tools and for editing and quickly summarizing papers. Many researchers think that non-native English speakers could benefit most from these tools. Some see generative AI as a way for scientists to rethink how they interrogate and summarize experimental results altogether — they could use LLMs to do much of this work, meaning less time writing papers and more time doing experiments...
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...
