Don't journals exist to publish human thinking? If a machine writes the paper, who is accountable when it is wrong, and does peer review even mean anything anymore? I just feel like that crosses a line, even if I cannot fully explain why.
People want accurate statements coming from sources that can be highly reliable, there is nothing wrong with having to create documents made by AI simply because it's a machine... If we exclude the fact that it were machines how much should corporates waste money just to have multiple researches to develop fast pace information that can't even keep up with the simple use of AI.
People still need someone to blame when research is wrong, and AI cannot be that someone. Okay, saving money and speed is a fair point, I guess I can't really argue with that. But that accountability gap still feels wrong to me.
That we can only blame the person that used the AI without checking it's information that has been generated, we understand AI is still in development and many errors will still occure weather it has more logical understanding than us, we humans are victims to common mistakes. Although I would blame the publisher for not reviewing the information generated by AI and not fixing them. It's easy to argue that if an academic journal coming from Oxford used AI to create it's research and they are able to check and fix errors due to the name and constant need to uplift quality in education then don't rely on a free academic research made by a journal who wouldn't even care to review
Imagine a journal where every article is AI-written and we just trust the famous name to catch mistakes. That feels like passing the hard work onto readers. You make a fair point that publishers can review and fix things, and I am not sure how to argue back. Still, it just feels wrong.
You making fair points but there is nothing wrong with the use of AI for research, just if the person is willing to review the AI's own scriptures and check for errors and refurbish their own statements before uploading, otherwise I believe the favour of this argument is all mine
