Don't do that as it seems so many people take the easy way out and let AI do the job for them. From the infamous college essay to science papers from hell, some individuals take the easy way out instead of learning their craft at deep level. Yours truly works with Gemini, as you, my loyal readers know, but I make it a point to tell all exactly when I'm doing it because doing a cheat never works out in the end. Channeling The Mythical Man Month, the best book ever written on software development and the art of doing large projects correctly, acts as my guide in keeping me honest instead of being a guy taking, as stated before, the easy way out.

Scientists know it is happening, even if they don’t do it themselves. Some of their peers are using chatbots, like ChatGPT, to write all or part of their papers.

In a paper published Wednesday in the journal Science Advances, Dmitry Kobak of the University of Tübingen and his colleagues report that they found a way to track how often researchers are using artificial intelligence chatbots to write the abstracts of their papers. The A.I. tools, they say, tend to use certain words — like “delves,” “crucial,” “potential,” “significant” and “important” — far more often than human authors do.

Scientists know it is happening, even if they don’t do it themselves. Some of their peers are using chatbots, like ChatGPT, to write all or part of their papers.

The group analyzed word use in the abstracts of more than 15 million biomedical abstracts published between 2010 and 2024, enabling them to spot the rising frequency of certain words in abstracts.

Let's think about this. 15 mil means extensive use of AI to do the deed so admit this when doing the analytic.

The findings tap into a debate in the sciences over when it is and is not appropriate to use A.I. helpers for writing papers.

In 2024, there were a total of 454 words used excessively by chatbots, the researchers report. Based on the frequency of the A.I.-favored words, Dr. Kobak and his team calculate that at least 13.5 percent of all biomedical abstracts appeared to have been written with the help of chatbots. And as many as 40 percent of abstracts by authors from some countries writing in a few less selective journals were A.I.-generated.

To eliminate the quandary of AI and papers, simply state a given AI was used to help write said paper. By acknowledging this, the stigma of working with a chatbot largely goes away as the fluidity of AI in writing is now off the charts. and ... when used properly and honestly, can improve the presentation of a paper without question.

Just my take.
