The impact of AI and ChatGPT on research reporting

ChatGPT and the newest GPT-4 are AI language models developed by OpenAI that have gained attention for their potential applications in biomedical research reporting. The models can assist researchers in various stages of writing scientific articles, including literature search, outlining, writing different sections, formatting, and translation. The use of ChatGPT or GPT-4 in research reporting has the potential to speed up the writing process, but its limitations, such as incorrect answers and biases, should also be considered. There is ongoing debate over the issue of AI authorship in scientific papers, with some publishers allowing it to be listed as a contributor in the acknowledgements section, while others do not allow it to be listed as an author. The use of ChatGPT or GPT-4 in research reporting is a recent development, and further studies and discussions are needed to determine their potential and limitations in this field.
