Generative AI and Medical Writing: Malfeasance or Misdemeanour?

Abstract

Generative AI in the form of Large Language Models (e.g. ChatGPT©), having been introduced into (medical) writing in 2022, are here to stay. The real question is - is this a good or a bad thing. This article examines both sides of this argument. It can certainly improve the quality of submissions to the Journal Of Pediatric Surgery, prehaps making it more legible and concise, and thereby broadening the pool of potential authors from around the world. But the potential for scientific misadventure is there, especially if its human overseers lose interest in forensic examination of the final product for reality, honesty and accuracy.
