Plagiarism and research integrity are sensitive issues in the academic setting, especially after the recent offspring of artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4.0 [1]. As the popularity of ChatGPT increases, some authors have attempted to write abstracts and full-text articles using AI, obtaining essays that resemble genuine scientific papers [2,3,4]. Detection systems for AI-generated texts have been recently developed. Miller et al. performed AI detection on a large sample of abstracts belonging to articles published between 2020 and 2023, reporting a significant increase in AI-assisted writing [5].
We evaluated herein the plagiarism and AI-detection scores of GPT-4.0 when paraphrasing original scientific essays, and furthermore tested methods that could possibly evade AI detection.
