Appendix B: ChatGPT response to “Should ChatGPT be listed as an author on academic articles?”
submitted 05-08-23

Response:
No, ChatGPT should not be listed as an author on academic articles. ChatGPT is an AI language model developed by OpenAI and does not possess authorship capabilities or creative intent. While ChatGPT can assist in generating text, it does not have the ability to conceive ideas, conduct research, or contribute to the scholarly content of an article.

When using ChatGPT to generate text for academic articles, it is important to follow ethical guidelines and attribute the content to the organization or individual who employed the AI model. This ensures transparency and accurate representation of authorship. ChatGPT should be acknowledged as a tool or resource used in the research process, but not as a contributor or author. Proper citation and acknowledgment of the use of AI-generated text are essential for maintaining academic integrity and giving credit to the human authors who utilized the AI model.
