Artificial intelligence is now credited with contributing to at least 10% of research papers, soaring to 20% in computer science, as revealed by The Economist. Research from the University of Tubingen highlights a significant shift in academic writing, driven by advancements in large language models. AI aids non-native English speakers, simplifies coding tasks, and accelerates the drafting of research manuscripts, but there are concerns about it reinforcing existing viewpoints and inflating publication volume.
