In a study published in the Harvard Kennedy School's Misinformation Review, researchers noted a rise in questionable research papers produced using generative AI, infiltrating academic databases like Google Scholar.
The study detailed how certain phrases commonly generated by ChatGPT appeared in numerous scientific papers, pointing to the technology's influence in creating content that resembles legitimate research.
Researchers found 139 identified papers in Google Scholar as questionable, highlighting that many were found in non-indexed journals, although some were in mainstream scientific publications.
The paper emphasized concerns that removing GPT-generated studies could unintentionally fuel conspiracy theories, acknowledging the complex implications of addressing such academic misconduct.
