This paper discusses the use of Artificial Intelligence Chatbot in scientific writing. ChatGPT is a type of chatbot, developed by OpenAI, that uses the Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) language model to understand and respond to natural language inputs. AI chatbot and ChatGPT in particular appear to be useful tools in scientific writing, assisting researchers and scientists in organizing material, generating an initial draft and/or in proofreading. There is no publication in the field of critical care medicine prepared using this approach; however, this will be a possibility in the next future. ChatGPT work should not be used as a replacement for human judgment and the output should always be reviewed by experts before being used in any critical decision-making or application. Moreover, several ethical issues arise about using these tools, such as the risk of plagiarism and inaccuracies, as well as a potential imbalance in its accessibility between high- and low-income countries, if the software becomes paying. For this reason, a consensus on how to regulate the use of chatbots in scientific writing will soon be required.

- Exploring students’ perspectives on Generative AI-assisted academic writing (2024, neutral): “As a result, by over-relying on GenAI without applying an appropriate level of skepticism, academic writers could help perpetuate such bias (Salvagno et al., 2023).”
- ChatGPT in Healthcare: A Taxonomy and Systematic Review (2023, background): “In short, even though the prospect is promising [92, 25, 43, 102], new regulations and substantial improvements are needed before ChatGPT can be safely and widely used for scientific writing, publishing, or medical research in general [105].”
