ChatGPT Is Shaping the Future of Medical Writing But Still Requires Human Judgment

The Utility of ChatGPT as an Example of Large Language Models in Healthcare Education, Research and Practice: Systematic Review on the Future Perspectives and Potential Limitations

“…Additionally, ChatGPT can be helpful in generating queries for comprehensive systematic review with high precision as shown by Wang et al despite the authors highlighting the transparency issues and unsuitability for high-recall retrieval [23]. Moreover, the utility of ChatGPT extends to involve the improvement in language and better ability to express and communicate the research ideas and results, ultimately speeding up the publication process with faster availability of research results [26,29,35,36,44,49,77]. This is particularly relevant for researchers who are non-native English speakers [26,29,35].…”

Such a practice can be acceptable considering the already existent English editing services provided by several academic publishers as an acceptable practice.…”

The future of medical education and research: Is ChatGPT a blessing or blight in disguise?

“…On experimenting with ChatGPT for research, it could easily help with writing the content of paper using the evidence from online search engines. Albeit, it lacked the capacity to perform a thorough literature search or critical analysis and discussion of articles as documented in the past [ 7 ]. The only evident benefit was a rephrased text that is not entirely plagiarism-free and depends on the specific command given to the bot.…”

“…ChatGPT can be used as an add-on to constructive writing, reviewing material, and rephrasing the text rather than providing a whole original blueprint [ 7 ]. As medical literature is a constant process of updated research, the rising concern is that ChatGPT can now be easily used for writing papers, which may lack clinical reasoning and critical thinking.…”

The potential impact of ChatGPT in clinical and translational medicine

“… 18 , 19 It has been used to finish writing an abstract, introduction or even the main text of an assignment or article, but it may not do well in writing the creative part of medical writing. 20 ChatGPT often summarizes previous research and data to form abstracts or background knowledge.
