Recent research indicates that approximately 14% of biomedical abstracts published last year may have been generated with the assistance of artificial intelligence (AI). This startling statistic emerges from an extensive analysis of over 1.5 million abstracts indexed in PubMed, revealing a significant trend in the use of large language models (LLMs) among researchers. The study highlights the emergence of specific stylistic words, such as “unparalleled” and “invaluable,” that are often associated with AI-generated text, raising questions about the authenticity and originality of scholarly work.
