Are Australian Research Council reports being written by ChatGPT? – The Guardian (Donna Lu | July 2023)
Have you ever felt a grant reviewer was soulless, didn’t understand the significance of your research question, or did not understand what the research meant? If this story in The Guardian is accurate, when this happens, it might literally be true. The reviewer didn’t understand because it wasn’t genuinely human. As we have observed recently, LLMs like ChatGPT do not genuinely understand the information it is provided or the text it produces. Given the way in which such text is produced (compression plagiarism from existing text) and someone claiming it as their work is a form of misconduct.
