ChatGPT: Detection in Academic Journals is Editors' and Publishers' Responsibilities.

Abstract

This letter makes note that the responsibility to detect text written by AI, such as ChatGPT, is the sole responsibility of editors and journals/publishers. This proposed policy is made to ensure proper authorship and to therefore assuage readers of a paper's authorship validity-so as not to have AI-driven guest authorship-so that the integrity of the biomedical literature is not further degraded. Two letters to the editor were recently written in this journal by ChatGPT and edited by the author. The extent to which ChatGPT contributed to those letters' content is unknown.
