A librarian, Andrew Gray from University College, London has analyzed
millions of articles in search of uncommon terms abused by artificial
intelligence programs

Andrew Gray estimates that at least 60,000 scientific studies (more than 1%
of those analyzed in 2023) were written with the help of ChatGPT — a tool
launched at the end of 2022 — or similar. “I think extreme cases of someone
writing an entire study with ChatGPT are rare,” says Gray, a 41-year-old
Scottish librarian. In his opinion, in most cases artificial intelligence
is used appropriately to “polish” the text — identify typos or facilitate
translation into English — but there is a large gray area, in which some
scientists take the assistance of ChatGPT even further, without verifying
the results. “Right now it is impossible to know how big this gray area is,
because scientific journals do not require authors to declare the use of
ChatGPT, there is very little transparency,” he laments.

Gray’s analysis shows that the word “intricate” appeared in 109,000 studies
in 2023, more than double the average of 50,000 in previous years. The term
“meticulously” went from appearing in about 12,300 studies in 2022 to more
than 28,000 in 2023. While instances of “commendable“ rose from 6,500 to
almost 12,000.
