Abstract
AI-derived text is increasingly common in scholarly publications, with a significant amount of papers in some fields now showing evidence of having used large language models in some way, and the research community divided on how best to handle the situation. This talk will look at some recent research which tries to identify how widespread the use of large language models is, and discuss what the rise in AI-generated text might mean for the integrity and quality of scholarly communications in the future.
