Unmasking Academic Deception: ChatGPT's Role in Faulty Scientific Papers

Researchers have been using the AI chatbot ChatGPT to write papers without disclosing its use, leading to undisclosed ChatGPT-assisted manuscripts being published in peer-reviewed journals. The telltale signs of ChatGPT, such as phrases like 'Regenerate response' or 'As an AI language model, I...', have been identified in several papers, prompting concerns about the integrity of scientific research. While some publishers allow the use of ChatGPT as long as it is declared, many cases of undisclosed usage have been detected. The issue highlights the challenges faced by peer reviewers in thoroughly examining manuscripts and the potential for the rise of paper mills that create and sell fake manuscripts.
