'Are we going to fill the time saved by AI with other low-value tasks, or will it free us to be more disruptive in our thinking and doing?' DrTregoning ponders how writing tasks will change with the rise of artificial intelligence tools.
Many of us have already been trying ChatGPT. If you’ve checked science social media recently, it’s likely that you’ve already seen many of its writings. In common with many other researchers, I worry about artificial intelligence replacing me. I’m a vaccine researcher and spend much of my time writing grant applications, papers and articles about science careers, so I set the chatbot the task of writing an opinion piece about the use of AI in grant writing.
So I asked ChatGPT: “What impact could vaccine research have?” and got 250 words of generic fluff. It suggested reducing the burden of disease, saving lives, improving global health and supporting economic development. None of what it said was in any way original or enormously surprising, but it was an excellent starting point, which I could then flesh out with specifics.
So far, I’ve found AI to be enormously helpful at generating a lot of the low-level filler documents that otherwise take up time. For example, it can write easy, generic, on-the-one-hand-this-but-on-the-other-that statements about Internet-usage policy or data management. However, it’s still early days, and much more thought needs to go into exploring the implications of AI regarding plagiarism and attributing credit.
Various publishers , why are we asking people to address the question at all? I think the answer is clear: these sections never really did serve a purpose and certainly don’t now. For science and the process of grant writing to be improved, two things have to happen: first, the pointless sections need to be removed; and second, the sections that remain need to be changed in scope, to be shorter and action-centred.
But for now, while we are forced to fill in unnecessary boxes on forms, AI offers a way to free up headspace, which should be a good thing. In a
