According to this article (6 page PDF), the answer is: "The current AI chatbot cannot be the author of an academic paper, not only from the perspective of copyright law but also from the perspective of research ethics." Related: WonkHE asks whether AI can support academic research and argues,"the temptation for academics and researchers – including PhD researchers – to use these technologies to assist with writing research papers or even generate complete articles will only increase as the technology improves." Also: a Victoria brewery has used an AI app to create a new beer recipe. Also: to express condolences after the recent shooting at Michigan State University, the Peabody Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion at Vanderbilt University sent a message that had been written using ChatGPT. Also: Maha Bali on the automation of care ("using AI, it's just an expression of 'I don't care enough about this to spend time on it'").
