Article by British scientists on fraud using chatbots turned out to be written by ChatGPT

In January of this year, scientists from the University of Plymouth Marjohn published a scientific article “Chatting and Cheating: How to Ensure Integrity in Academia in the Age of ChatGPT”. The article caused a wide resonance in the circles of British scientists, who were concerned about the increasing cases of using a neural network to write scientific papers. However, neither the reviewers of the article by scientists from Plymouth, nor its ordinary readers suspected that it was itself written by the ChatGPT chat bot, reports The Guardian.
The authors claim to have informed the editors of the journal Innovations in Education and Teaching International, where the article was published, about the use of a chatbot when writing it. But no one told the reviewers about it.
“We wanted to show that ChatGPT writes at a very high level,” said Professor Debbie Cotton, director of academic practice at the University of Plymouth Marjohn, who posed as the lead author of the article. “This is an arms race. Technology is improving very quickly and it will be difficult for universities to overtake it.”
