Can Researchers Write their Articles by Artificial Intelligence?

Abstract

The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has sparked considerable interest in its potential applications across various domains, including scientific research and academic writing. However, many academicians are apprehensive about it because of ethical issues. This article explores the question of whether researchers can leverage AI to write their articles. By analyzing an existing model of taking assistance from third-party editing services, it is clear that the usage of AI in writing articles may not be considered unethical. However, authors must clearly mention for what purpose the AI was used and must acknowledge the help. Due to ease of accessibility and proven proficiency, researchers who cannot afford third-party writing services can harness the service of large language models like ChatGPT, Google Bard, Microsoft Bing, Perplexity, Claude, etc. and other AI applications for writing their scientific articles.
