Can you use #ChatGPT when writing papers? 🧵
The #scientific #journals #Science and #Nature have developed very different policies for the use of #AI, #LLM, #ChatGPT etc. when writing #papers.
Very simplified:
- #Science regards the use of #AI as plagiarism https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adg7879
- #Nature allows the use of #AI when acknowledged https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00107-z

  I think it brings up difficult questions about use of tools in #writing. I have a hard time to follow the argument by #Science that it is simply plagiarism considering its definition as „Plagiarism is the fraudulent representation of another person's language, thoughts, … as one's own original work.“ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagiarism). Is #AI a person when it comes to authorship? On the other hand, #Nature makes the point that #AI cannot be a co-author, since it cannot be accountable.

    Plagiarism
    
    Plagiarism is the representation of another person's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as one's own original work. Although precise definitions vary depending on the institution, in many countries and cultures plagiarism is considered a violation of academic integrity and journalistic ethics, as well as social norms around learning, teaching, research, fairness, respect, and responsibility. As such, a person or entity that is determined to have committed plagiarism is often subject to various punishments or sanctions, such as suspension, expulsion from school or work, fines, imprisonment, and other penalties. Plagiarism is typically not in itself a crime, but like counterfeiting, fraud can be punished in a court for prejudices caused by copyright infringement, violation of moral rights, or torts. In academia and in industry, it is a serious ethical offense. Plagiarism and copyright infringement overlap to a considerable extent, but they are not equivalent concepts, and although many types of plagiarism may not meet the legal requirements in copyright law as adjudicated by courts...

  Maybe I should add: I would be less interested in opinions regarding the question whether you can let #AI write an entire paper but more regarding its use for smaller parts, refining language and restructuring of self-written text? 4/

  Is #AI comparable to tools like calculators or computers, which we regularly use? Literature search databases? Spell checkers? Symbolic algebra tools like #Mathematica? Similar to translation tools like #DeepL? Where and why would we draw the line? How would we use it and include it in a paper?
  I would be interested in opinions, legal studies and other references on this topic, which will certainly keep us in #academia busy for the foreseeable future.
