📝 AI may already be taking over scientific writing and researchers don’t even know the true scale of it. One recent analysis found that after ChatGPT launched, submissions to academic journals surged by 42%, with many papers showing strong signs of AI-generated text. By early 2026: • Manuscripts with over 70% AI-written content had doubled compared to 2024 • More than 30% of peer reviews showed traces of AI generation • In computer science papers on arXiv, AI-written reviews jumped from 7% in 2023 to 43% in 2025 Biologist Richard Shea also examined 5,000 biomedical papers from top journals like Science, Nature, and Cell. Six appeared fully AI-written, while roughly 1 in 8 contained machine-generated sections. The scariest part? Nobody can measure this accurately yet. Current AI detectors are unreliable. They often confuse lightly edited text with fully AI-written work, while missing sophisticated generations entirely. Even new “watermarking” systems are still experimental. Science may already be entering an era where humans can no longer tell how much research was actually written by humans. @aipost🏴
