Delving into LLM-assisted writing in biomedical publications through excess vocabulary (opens elsewhere)
Dmitry Kobak, Rita González-Márquez, Emőke-Ágnes Horvát, and Jan Lause
“Delve” is on my list of words I don’t use, and this study shows why it belongs there. The researchers counted which words took off in medical abstracts after ChatGPT arrived, and “delves” jumped the most. By their count, at least 13.5% of 2024’s abstracts went through an LLM.
