When I looked at the examples, very few seemed to be fully ChatGPT generated.
That being said, most scientists are very smart and recognize the power of ChatGPT. They are most likely heavily relying on it when producing summaries, abstracts, hypotheses, etc., and because they can and will edit it you won't be able to tell from words alone.
ChatGPT is an equalizer between native English speakers and scientists speaking English as a second language.
But both groups will use it heavily and nobody can foresee what the net effect of it is on science.
Having had that experience, I can tell you that it takes weeks or months to write up results as a paper and go through the most boring steps of formatting and organizing them into antiquated presentation formats: Intro/Discussion/Results, dumbass citations, labeling, backward wordings ... etc
What should be a five-paragraph discovery on a blog has to take the form of a multipage, heavily formatted document that contains enormous, unrelated, and useless information.
With ChatGPT, you can do it in a day. If you are not using ChatGPT, you lose out.
