While true, scientific papers are written with an aim to be reasonably easy to parse. Turning scientific papers into literary works is likely to fail (novelty bits aside), same as it fails in business settings etc. We already have pretty streamlined language because people demand it in a lot of places - LLMs will accelerate that because it reduces the effort to get there.
- DoingIsLearning 3y agoI think you misinterpreted. My point is that the output style of LLMs like chatGPT is not static. The 'default voice' uses fairly embellished language but there is nothing stopping a user from requesting a plain language output, such as what you would find in a US Navy manual (whose target audience is a huge cohort) .
- RandomLensman 3y agoI know, but my point is that people will converge on a certain compact and simple style for scientific papers because that will be favored for fast and easy reading (as seen in business, for example). Such a style isn't necessarily easy to write but the LLMs will help people to get there.
