#NatureNews ChatGPT turns two: how the AI chatbot has changed scientists’ lives. How many researchers are using the AI tool? Nature gathers data and talks to members of the academic community. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-03940-y
"Wiley surveyed 1,043 researchers: 81% had used ChatGPT.
ChatGPT by the numbers: 60,000 is the minimum number of scholarly papers published in 2023 that are estimated to have been written with the assistance of a large language model (LLM). This is slightly more than 1% of all articles in the database surveyed by the research team. 10% is the minimum percentage of research papers published by members of the biomedical science community in the first half of 2024 estimated to have had their abstracts written with the help of an LLM."
