@remixtures it is somewhat ironic that the post is about open access Wikipedia, but Verge wants an immediate subscription of cca $50 a year to read the blog post. How long is the blog post? Hope Verge gives most of the profits >80% to authors.

If an author submits a paper as an "original research article" but large parts (including introduction, results, discussion & conclusions) were generated by Al & this is not declared: is this a fraud?If an author submits a paper as an "original research article" but large parts (including introduction, results, discussion & conclusions) were generated by Al & this is not declared: is this a fraud?

The publishing industry got caught by AI and they don't have much policy / rules so it is already a chaos.You can use LLMs (and I use Gemini pro, Grok, Mistral and Claude now almost every day!) but then summarize things in your own words / use your own style. I had the same situation with Wikipedia for decades - read the articles, learn, but then summarize and explain in my own worlds. Stay yourself, be transparent and seek for clarity, transparency and authenticity in whatever research you do.
Anyway, I'm curious to hear what you think. -
The publishing industry got caught by AI and they don't have much policy / rules so it is already a chaos.Q4. Are we only 2-3 yrs away from the world where we will have to certify / prove that we have actually come up to some idea, wrote a sentences or made artwork by our brain (and our brain only)? What if it become near to impossible to prove a human source of an idea?
Q5. Should we all (research societies) make urgent meetings and discuss these issues and agree upon (democratically) & provide clear policies that all members need to stick to (or be expelled)? -
The publishing industry got caught by AI and they don't have much policy / rules so it is already a chaos.Some ethical dilemmas:
Q1. if an LLM generated some text, even some solutions, shouldn't these systems also be listed as authors?
Q2. If larger parts of text, whole sentences were generated by AI but this is not mentioned: is this a scientific fraud? (PS: yes, it absolutely is!)
Q3. If the majority of text has been written by ChatGPT, shouldn't the paper then become "ChatGPT et al."? -

Many in the industry think - great, people will now generate new papers faster, easier, so higher profits for us, but things could change drastically with unpredictable effects sooner than you think. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sabahetaramcilovic_ai-activity-7367983837684961281-1SVa
Personally I am against ANY copy paste from ChatGPT in anything that is called "original research article".
