As scientists explore AI-written text, journals hammer out policies

Many ask authors to disclose use of ChatGPT and other generative artificial intelligence

“It’s all we’ve been talking about since November,” says Patrick Franzen, publishing director for SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics. He’s referring to ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence (AI)–powered chatbot unveiled that month. In response to a prompt, ChatGPT can spin out fluent and seemingly well-informed reports, essays — and scientific manuscripts. Worried about the ethics and accuracy of such content, Franzen and managers at other journals are scrambling to protect the scholarly literature from a potential flood of manuscripts written in whole or part by computer programs.

Some publishers have not yet formulated policies. Most of those that have avoid an outright ban on AI-generated text, but ask authors to disclose their use of the automated tools, as SPIE is likely to do. For now, editors and peer reviewers have few alternatives, as they lack enforcement tools. No software so far can consistently detect the synthetic text the majority of the time. [. . .]

In some cases, the resulting text is indistinguishable from what people would write. For example, researchers who read medical journal abstracts generated by ChatGPT failed to identify one-third of them as written by machine, according to a December 2022 preprint. AI developers are expected to create even more powerful versions, including ones trained specifically on scientific literature — a prospect that has sent a shock wave through the scholarly publishing industry.

So far, scientists report playing around with ChatGPT to explore its capabilities, and a few have listed ChatGPT as a co-author on manuscripts. Publishing experts worry such limited use could morph into a spike of manuscripts containing substantial chunks of AI-written text.

🟨 QUESTÃO 45.

According to the text, some publishers of scientific journals are concerned about the:

🄰 lack of policies regulating the production of fluent and seemingly well-informed reports and essays.

🄱 flood of manuscripts written entirely by computer programs that is already on the market.

🄲 total ban that some publications have imposed on the publication of AI-generated texts.

🄳 substantial number of authors who refuse to produce manuscripts having ChatGPT as a co-author.

🄴 possibility of an increase in the number of articles containing a considerable amount of AI-written text.

Gabarito: 🄴

🧭 1️⃣ Leitura orientada

O texto expressa uma preocupação prospectiva. Os editores temem que o uso ainda limitado de IA evolua para um crescimento expressivo de manuscritos com partes substanciais escritas por inteligência artificial.

📝 2️⃣ Análise técnica das alternativas

(A) ❌ Incorreta.
O texto afirma que as políticas estão sendo formuladas, não que inexistam completamente.
🚩 Pegadinha: exagerar uma limitação temporária.

(B) ❌ Incorreta.
O texto fala em potential flood, ou seja, algo que ainda não ocorreu.
🚩 Pegadinha: confundir previsão com fato consumado.

(C) ❌ Incorreta.
A maioria dos editores evita um banimento total.
🚩 Pegadinha: inverter a posição explícita do texto.

(D) ❌ Incorreta.
O texto menciona alguns autores que listaram o ChatGPT como coautor, não uma recusa generalizada.
🚩 Pegadinha: criar oposição inexistente.

(E) ✅ Correta.
O texto afirma explicitamente que especialistas temem um aumento no número de artigos com grandes trechos escritos por IA.
🚩 Pegadinha evitada: leitura precisa do alerta central do texto.

⚠️ 3️⃣ Armadilhas clássicas do ITA

• Confundir previsão com realidade atual
• Exagerar afirmações moderadas do texto
• Ignorar marcadores de possibilidade (“could”, “potential”)

🧠 4️⃣ Resumo B3GE™ Master

✔ Preocupação central: crescimento futuro do uso de IA
✔ Risco apontado: textos com grandes trechos artificiais
✔ Alternativa correta: (E)
🔎 Gabarito confirmado: (E)
