Challenges
Inaccuracy: Data currently only available through 2022 for ChatGPT based tools.
Unreliable References: Can generate authors or papers that do not exist.
Safety and Legal Concerns: Entering private information means that the tools will retain that info for future searches.
Training Bias:
G - Generative
P - Pre-trained, who is doing the training? When has it been updated?
T - Transformer
Professionalism: A number of scientific journals, including Science, have already banned the use of AI-generated text within scientific articles.
Deep Learning: Excessive dependence on ChatGPT can lead to students relying on it for answers without truly understanding the material.
General Rule: If you’d be uncomfortable discussing the use of the tool with us for your research work, then you shouldn’t be using it.
