Social media users and academics are warning that more scientific papers show signs of being partially generated with the help of AI chatbots.
For example, a paper published on ScienceDirect, titled ‘The three-dimensional porous mesh structure of Cu-based metal-organic-framework - aramid cellulose separator enhances the electrochemical performance of lithium metal anode batteries,’ published in March 2024 started its introduction with the phrase: “Certainly, here is a possible introduction for your topic:” before covering the subject at hand.
The phrase is commonly used by chatbots such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT when they provide responses to user queries.
