The program “Manuscript Writer” created by sciNote LLC, uses artificial intelligence (AI) to generate draft of science paper using researchers’ data. Their spokesperson explained the software generates a first draft the scientist should revise, add discussion and other parts. From another side, there were couple of tools, like SCIgen, that write full fake "science papers" and some of them even reached to scientific journals and conferences.
Are reviewers and editors to blame for failures to catch that type of fake papers so far?
Will AI really will be able to write proper science papers in future?
Hello from SciNote!
I would just like to clarify, that our AI Manuscript writer (https://scinote.net/manuscript-writer) only works if a scientist has data saved within SciNote. It doesn't fabricate original content, but rather rearranges data (which the scientist has already produced) in an intelligent way.
I think the real question is not whether AI will write scientific papers, but how long will science be published through pdfs...

Mushtaq Ahmad - I agree that researchers should be capable of writing articles themselves. However, question is about role of AI as it is "entering" area of science papers in terms of "writing", reviewing, looking for plagiarism etc.

SCIgen is a program that generates random Computer Science research papers, including graphs, figures, and citations. It uses a hand-written context-free grammar to form all elements of the papers. Our aim here is to maximize amusement, rather than coherence.
I think whatever the evolution can not write papers because you need to achieve goals
