A scientific journal was forced to retract a paper it published last month after it was discovered the authors used the artificial intelligence application ChatGPT to write it.
The paper, published Aug. 9 in the journal Physica Scripta, was an attempt to uncover new solutions to a complicated math equation, but included the phrase “Regenerate response” on the third page — something one eagle-eyed reader recognized was the phrase of a button on ChatGPT, according to a report from Nature.
The authors of the paper have since acknowledged they used ChatGPT to help write the manuscript, something that wasn’t caught during two months of peer review after the paper was submitted in May. The revelation led the U.K.-based publisher to retract the paper because the authors did not disclose their use of the AI app when they submitted it.
“This is a breach of our ethical policies,” Kim Eggleton, who is in charge of peer review and research integrity at IOP publishing, said in a statement, according to Nature.

I think this may be unjustified depending on what they used it for. Many math guys are just bad at writing and there is nothing wrong with using AI to rephrase your own sentences.
In my college days, this was called ‘cheating’.

Article doesn’t have names of paper authors. Gotta name and shame in cases like this.

I’ll bet FauxNews used AI to write this article.
Talk about lazy!
They used AI to write their paper, and then didn't bother to edit the results.
Yeah, and peer review is supposed to be the gold standard in ensuring integrity in scientific research.
What a bunch of hogwash.
It’s as corrupt and self-serving as any government agency.
“Yes, you can end a sentence with the word ‘it’. ‘It’ is a pronoun, and it is perfectly acceptable to end sentences with pronouns, such as in the following sentence: ‘I’ve never golfed before, but I’m sure I will like it.”

Sorry, bakeneko, I needed to check it mainly for myself.

Let other authors working on studies of fraud cite it as a source.
Yes the details matter, but for highly technical stories they are usually glossed over and fuzzy in news reporting. So us laymen of the public are often left pontificating without really understanding.
