📝 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
