Use of artificial intelligence in scientific paper writing

Artificial intelligence or AI is a hot topic. There are currently 100+ million users of ChatGPT (GPT = generative pre-trained transformer), which was designed and implemented by OpenAI. This is a significant portion of the entire world population. Numerous accolades have been given to the initiative. However, some suggest that AI could be used for nefarious purposes, it may eliminate jobs, provide erroneous information, and it might be used for cheating at work or school. Such events may have already occurred during the few months since the inception of recent AI chatbots. Now might be the point to address this issue from the perspective of what helpfulness can be incurred by AI in scientific paper writing. This discussion stems from the recent querying and probing ChatGPT-4.0 for this purpose.
