How to use ChatGPT to summarize a book, article, or research paper

AI chatbots like ChatGPT can be used to make summarizing long articles, research papers, and books an easier job. If you're tasked with writing a summary for school or work about a body of written text, and you're pinched for time, ChatGPT can help you understand the necessary components.

You should remember that ChatGPT is a tool that can help you further understand a topic, and it may not be in your best interest to have it write your work for you.

Also: How to make ChatGPT provide sources and citations

If you're a student writing a research paper, someone who is keen to discover more about a lengthy article, or someone who wants to dive into a complicated subject, you can use ChatGPT to simplify the process.

How ChatGPT can create summaries for you

Materials needed : You'll need a device that can connect to the internet, an OpenAI account , and a basic understanding of the article, research paper, or book you want to summarize.

Also: This AI chatbot can sum up any PDF and answer any question you have about it

The process should take about one to three minutes.

1. Find your article, paper, or book to summarize

If you need ChatGPT to help summarize an article or research paper, find the body of text online and keep it open in a separate tab.

2. Open your web browser and log in to OpenAI

Open your web browser of choice and type in chat.openai.com/chat .

3. Type your request

In the chat box, type in TLDR: followed by the title of the book you want summarized. TLDR stands for too long, didn't read.

Also: How to use ChatGPT: Everything you need to know

You can also ask ChatGPT: "Summarize [book title]."

You cannot paste a URL into ChatGPT. If you do so, you'll get a response explaining that the chatbot cannot access websites. If you want ChatGPT to summarize research, you'll need a basic understanding of the topic to ensure you aren't including inaccurate information in your report.

For example, if you're writing a paper about how twin sibling dynamics affect their marriages, you can ask ChatGPT: "Explain how twin relationships affect their marriages."

Also: The best AI chatbots: ChatGPT and other noteworthy alternatives

ChatGPT will offer you a few bullet points of both positive and negative effects a twin bond can have on the twins' marriages. You'll still need to read key points of the research, as ChatGPT won't provide you with specific statistics or scientific conclusions. But ChatGPT can help you understand the context surrounding the research you're interested in.

If you're having trouble comprehending specific passages in an article, book, or research paper, you can copy parts of the text and paste them into ChatGPT.

Think of this method as reshuffling the words you're currently reading to help you make more sense of the text in front of you.

This is an accurate summary of 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay'.

What are ChatGPT's limitations?

If you're using ChatGPT to summarize an article, book, or piece of research, keep in mind that ChatGPT isn't aware of events that occurred after September 2021.

Also: 4 things Claude AI can do that ChatGPT can't

ChatGPT is a large language model that uses queues and millions of data points to mimic human responses. This form of mimicry is why ChatGPT will answer questions even when it doesn't output the correct answer. So, make sure you're not using any information from ChatGPT without fact-checking it.

If you try to get around this obstacle and provide ChatGPT with an article that contains information post-2021, it might hallucinate. Here, I asked the chatbot to summarize an article about a new app I wrote about , and it made up a few details.

Lemon8 is a new app from TikTok's parent company, ByteDance. Although the TikTok trend may exist, that's not what the article is about.

Can ChatGPT summarize a PDF?

Copying and pasting a URL into ChatGPT won't yield you the best results. If there is a specific paragraph or sentence you're struggling with, you can copy and paste it into ChatGPT and ask it to explain it to you. Still, it's best to read the PDF and use the chatbot as a summary tool and not as an educator.

Also: How to use ChatGPT to write code

If you're looking for an AI chatbot that you can regularly rely on to give you an accurate summary of a PDF, consider using ChatPDF . You can summarize up to three PDFs of up to 120 pages per day, and an upgraded plan is available for $5 per month.

Can ChatGPT summarize an email thread?

Sort of. If you want to copy and paste every single email, ChatGPT can summarize the thread's contents for you. It would be more helpful to scan an email thread yourself and ask ChatGPT to help you write a response based on the key points you know about the conversation.

Editor's note: We've added additional context to the step concerning ChatGPT summarizing articles by URL.

Log in to OpenAI

Go to chat.openai.com , and log in to your account.

Don't have an OpenAI account yet? Here's how to set one up .

Ask ChatGPT to summarize an article

ChatGPT can't directly browse the internet (unless you're a paid subscriber), so you'll need to feed it with the raw material it needs before asking it to generate a summary.

Copy the relevant text of your digital source material.

Paste the text in the message bar of ChatGPT's home page, add " Summarize the article above " to the end of your query, and hit Enter .

The message box in ChatGPT with a portion of text from an article to be summarized followed by a text prompt that reads, "Summarize the article above."

If you're a ChatGPT Plus subscriber, there's no need for the copy-and-paste step. Instead, switch to the Web Browsing model ( Model > Web Browsing ), and then paste the URL of your source material into the message bar and ask ChatGPT to summarize it.

Portion of the ChatGPT home page, which shows the dropdown menu for GPT model options. The "Web Browsing" model is selected.

If you're not satisfied with the response, you can click Regenerate response to get a ChatGPT to try again. Or you can modify your prompt.

Note : ChatGPT Plus subscribers used to have the ability to prompt ChatGPT to browse the web, but the feature was disabled by OpenAI due to it displaying content in ways that weren't authorized. The company says they're working to bring it back in the future.

Tip: Need to extract text from webpages to use in ChatGPT? You can try a free tool like this , which converts HTML—the standard markup language for webpages—to plain text.

When it comes to getting ChatGPT to give you the article summary you actually want, here are two key ways to refine your prompt .

1. Tell it how long the response should be

To ensure the summary is short and sweet, add a character limit or a range of acceptable lengths to your prompt. For example, "The summary should be 125 characters max" (this is equivalent to roughly a half page of text, double-spaced, using 12-point font) or "Write a 150–300-word summary of this article."

Sometimes, it's helpful to include the desired length of ChatGPT's response in your initial prompt. Other times, it's not. (Remember how I said ChatGPT's ability to summarize text is hit or miss?) Here's an example from the first time I asked it to summarize the final episode of The Good Place using a maximum of 125 characters.

Portion of a conversation in ChatGPT. The text prompt reads "Summarize the article above. The summary should be 125 characters max." ChatGPT's response is one-sentence long and extremely vague.

Technically, ChatGPT did exactly what I asked it to do—but it took "summarize" to the extreme. In this case, I modified the prompt and removed the character limit, which gave me a slightly better response. (But there aren't nearly enough specifics for my liking.)

Detailed text summary from ChatGPT to the prompt "Summarize the article above."

At the end of the day, you'll have to play around with what details work for each prompt.

2. Specify what to include in your article summary

A clear prompt with sufficient detail is key to getting the response you want from ChatGPT.

Let's say I want to know what happens to each main character in the series finale of The Good Place. For that, I'd prompt ChatGPT with, "Try again, but tell me what happens to each main character."

Response from ChatGPT that gives a detailed summary of what happened to each of the main characters in the season finale of the TV show The Good Place.

Now that's the kind of spoiler summary I'm looking for.

Limitations of summarizing articles with ChatGPT

ChatGPT is still fairly new, so there are a couple of things you should keep in mind when using it to summarize articles.

Token limits . GPT-3 and -3.5—the free GPT model available to anyone—has a limit of 4,096 tokens , which is equal to roughly 3,000 words. (The more advanced GPT-4 model offers nearly double the amount.) For most news articles, the token limit shouldn't be a concern. But you'll likely run into issues if you ask ChatGPT to summarize a lengthy research paper or a novel.

"Plausible-sounding but incorrect" responses . ChatGPT's been known to produce less-than-accurate answers , so take its responses with a grain of salt (read: fact check, fact check, fact check).

Oversimplification. Since ChatGPT lacks critical-thinking skills, it has a tendency to strip away important details and subtle nuances presented in the source material, leaving you with a less-than-complete understanding. For something trivial like getting summaries of spoilers for pure entertainment, this isn't a huge concern. But if you're using ChatGPT to summarize an article that you'll reference in, say, a college dissertation, I strongly recommend reading the article in its entirety so you don't miss out on crucial details or nuance.

How to use ChatGPT to summarize an article: FAQs

OpenAI is constantly updating existing features and adding new functionality, so it's understandable if you're confused about what ChatGPT can and can't do. Here are answers to the most common questions about how to summarize with ChatGPT.

Can ChatGPT summarize a pdf?

ChatGPT can summarize a PDF and answer questions about the PDF, but this feature is available only to ChatGPT Plus subscribers.

It's worth noting, though, that in my experience, the quality of ChatGPT's responses varies depending on the length, complexity, and formatting of the file. For example, when I asked ChatGPT to summarize a PDF that contained headings, it generated a formatted list of key talking points along with a one-sentence summary of each point. When I asked ChatGPT to summarize a PDF with the same content, but no headings, it generated only a vague, one-paragraph summary.

Can ChatGPT summarize videos?

ChatGPT doesn't have the functionality to watch or analyze video content. There are workarounds, though. For example, if you have access to the video transcript, you can upload that into ChatGPT and ask it to analyze the transcript. Or, if you're a ChatGPT Plus or Enterprise user, there are custom GPTs you can use to summarize videos.

Can ChatGPT summarize a website?

Yes, but there are limitations. If you ask ChatGPT to summarize a website containing content that requires a subscription—for example, an article from the New York Times —ChatGPT won't be able to summarize it. This feature is also available only to paid users.

The guide empowers researchers to ethically integrate ChatGPT effectively into their workflows, enhancing productivity and improving the quality of their scientific publications. Through clear instructions and guidelines, researchers can tap into the transformative potential of ChatGPT, driving scientific progress in a language-driven world.

In recent years, the field of NLP has witnessed remarkable advancements, bringing us closer to the realm of humanlike language generation. Among these advancements, ChatGPT, based on the groundbreaking GPT-3.5 architecture developed by OpenAI, stands as an impressive language model capable of generating coherent and contextually relevant text responses. With its ability to understand and respond to user inputs, ChatGPT has opened up new possibilities for various applications, including research and publication. 1 – 3

The traditional process of conducting research and publishing scientific papers has been significantly transformed by the emergence of ChatGPT. Researchers and authors can now leverage the power of this sophisticated language model to streamline and enhance their workflow, leading to improved efficiency and higher-quality publications. However, using ChatGPT effectively in the research and publication domain requires a comprehensive understanding of its capabilities, limitations, and best practices.

In this commentary I offer my thoughts for a step-by-step guide for researchers and authors who seek to harness the potential of ChatGPT in their research endeavors and publication efforts. By exploring various aspects, such as data preprocessing, fine-tuning techniques, prompt engineering, and ethical considerations, this guide will equip researchers with the necessary knowledge to harness the full potential of ChatGPT in their scientific pursuits. Moreover, this commentary will delve into the challenges associated with using ChatGPT for research and publication, including biases, interpretability, and concerns regarding plagiarism. By addressing these challenges directly, I aim to provide researchers with valuable insights and recommendations to navigate these important issues and ensure the responsible and ethical use of ChatGPT as a research tool. 4

The significance of my guide lies in its potential to bridge the gap between the rapid progress of language models like ChatGPT and the research and publication process. By elucidating the intricacies of integrating ChatGPT into scientific workflows, researchers will be empowered to leverage this advanced technology effectively, thereby enhancing the overall quality and impact of their research output. 5 In the following sections, I present a comprehensive overview of the steps involved in using ChatGPT for research and publication.

Step 1: Title and Title Page Creation by ChatGPT

ChatGPT can be a valuable tool in generating titles for research papers. Its ability to understand and generate humanlike text allows it to analyze and synthesize information provided by researchers to craft concise and impactful titles. By leveraging its vast knowledge base and language capabilities, ChatGPT can assist in capturing the essence of a research paper, conveying the main focus and contributions succinctly. Researchers can collaborate with ChatGPT by providing relevant information, such as the subject, objectives, methodology, and key findings of their study. ChatGPT can then generate multiple title options, offering different perspectives and angles that researchers can consider. This collaboration with ChatGPT can save time and stimulate creativity, helping researchers refine their titles to accurately represent their work and engage potential readers. ChatGPT can then be used to create the entire title page and then can also customize based on each journal’s recommendations.

For example:

An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc.
Object name is i2331-348X-28-6-576-f01.jpg

Thus, we see that ChatGPT can write an entire title page based on just the title and author details. We notice that ChatGPT has created an email address that is incorrect and needs manual rectification. However, the rest of the title page, including keywords and the running title, is appropriate.

Step 2: Abstract/Summary Creation by chatGPT

ChatGPT can assist in condensing complex information into a clear and engaging abstract/summary, helping researchers communicate the significance and novelty of their research to a wider audience. By leveraging the language proficiency of ChatGPT, researchers can save time and effort in crafting abstracts while ensuring that the key aspects of their study are accurately represented.

In this example, we demonstrate that ChatGPT can create an entire abstract just by using the title alone. However, the more information researchers provide (preferably the entire body of the paper should be entered into chatGPT), the more accurate the abstract becomes.

An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc.
Object name is i2331-348X-28-6-576-f02.jpg

Step 3: Introduction Creation by ChatGPT

By collaborating with ChatGPT, researchers can provide key information, such as the background, significance, and objectives of their study. ChatGPT can then generate a well-structured introduction that sets the context, highlights the relevance of the research, and outlines the paper’s objectives. Also, ChatGPT can be used to generate keywords and generate an abbreviations list from the article by using prompts. However, it is important to note that the generated introduction should be reviewed, customized, and refined by the researchers to align with their specific study and writing style.

In the example below, we note that ChatGPT has not only created an introduction but also the objectives of the study, which can then be edited by the human author.

An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc.
Object name is i2331-348X-28-6-576-f03.jpg

Step 4: Can ChatGPT Create a Literature Review?

Yes, ChatGPT can help generate a literature review, but it is important to note that it may not have access to the most up-to-date research articles and studies due to copyrights and limited access to some journals. Additionally, a literature review typically requires a comprehensive analysis of multiple sources, so the generated response may not cover all relevant studies. Nonetheless, it can assist in providing a basic literature review on a given topic, which will need human authors to add to and edit it.

An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc.
Object name is i2331-348X-28-6-576-f04.jpg

As we can see, ChatGPT is not as good at giving a detailed review of the literature as it is at summarizing contents or creating an introduction. Thus, its use is limited, if there is any at all, in this section of the paper.

Step 5: Can ChatGPT Assist in Brainstorming the Methodology of Studies?

ChatGPT can be a helpful tool in conceptualizing the methodology for research papers. By engaging in a conversation with ChatGPT, researchers can discuss their research objectives, study design, data collection methods, and data analysis techniques. ChatGPT’s natural language understanding allows it to provide suggestions and insights based on its knowledge base and understanding of research methodologies. Although ChatGPT can assist in generating ideas and providing guidance, it is important for researchers to critically evaluate and adapt the suggestions to align with their specific research goals and requirements.

Although the methodology is something that is unique to each paper and needs a human researcher to conceptualize it, we see in this example that ChatGPT can assist by giving ideas and examples based on the input of the title by the human researcher. Thus, ChatGPT can be part of brainstorming sessions when conceptualizing a study, although this section needs significant editing by a human, unlike the introduction or summary.

An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc.
Object name is i2331-348X-28-6-576-f05.jpg

Step 6: Do Not Use ChatGPT for Fabricating Patient Data or Results!

This section of the paper must be authentic, and ChatGPT has a limited role, if any, because patient data have to be original. ChatGPT also currently cannot analyze clinical data compared with statistical software, like SPSS Statistics and Base SAS. However, Microsoft appears to be developing an Excel copilot that uses AI to create graphs and plots, and its use needs to be evaluated once it is released to the public. 6

Step 7: Discussion and Conclusions

This section of the paper can be generated by ChatGPT if all results are pasted as input; however, this section also needs manual editing because inaccuracies are common. By discussing their research with ChatGPT, researchers can also identify potential limitations, discuss the broader implications of their findings, and propose future research directions. Although ChatGPT can generate suggestions and facilitate the thought process, it is important for researchers to critically evaluate the information provided and ensure that the Discussion and Conclusion sections align with the specific research objectives and findings of their study. Ultimately, ChatGPT can serve as a supportive tool in developing a comprehensive and well-rounded discussion and conclusion for research papers.

Step 8: References

As per the author's experience, although ChatGPT is capable of creating references for an article, most of them are incorrect. So, using ChatGPT for creating references is not recommended. However, ChatGPT can convert references into any journaling style if the references are entered into ChatGPT and it is asked to convert them into a specific style.

Disadvantages of Using ChatGPT in Research

Although ChatGPT offers numerous advantages for assisting in the writing of research papers, there are also some important potential disadvantages to consider:

Lack of domain expertise: ChatGPT is a general-purpose language model trained on a diverse range of Internet text, which means it may lack the specific domain expertise required for certain research topics. It may generate responses that are not accurate or well informed in specialized fields, potentially leading to incorrect or misleading information in research papers.
Inconsistency and variability: ChatGPT’s responses can be inconsistent and vary depending on the input phrasing or prompt formulation. This can lead to unpredictability in generating reliable and coherent content, requiring additional effort to refine and ensure accuracy in research papers.
Limited control over output: Although researchers can guide the model’s responses through prompts, ChatGPT’s generation process is still primarily autonomous. Researchers have limited control over the precise content and structure of the generated text, which may require careful editing and review to align with specific research goals, standards, and above all, accuracy.
Biases and ethical considerations: Language models like ChatGPT can inadvertently reflect biases present in the training data. These biases may perpetuate existing societal or cultural biases in research papers, potentially leading to unfair or discriminatory content. The careful examination and mitigation of biases are crucial to ensure ethical and unbiased research output. 7
Lack of interpretability: ChatGPT’s decision-making process is complex and not easily interpretable. Researchers may struggle to understand the reasoning behind the model’s generated responses, making it challenging to assess the reliability and credibility of the information provided. Ensuring transparency and interpretability in research papers becomes more challenging with such models. ChatGPT should cite the sources for its data, like Google Bard does.
Plagiarism concerns: Because of its vast training data from the Internet, ChatGPT may inadvertently generate text that resembles or replicates existing content without proper citation or attribution. Researchers must be cautious about unintentional plagiarism and ensure that generated content is appropriately referenced and original. So, all ChatGPt-generated articles need to be double checked using antiplagiarism software.

In this commentary I have provided a comprehensive step-by-step guide for researchers and authors on harnessing the power of ChatGPT in the realm of research and publication. By exploring crucial aspects, such as data preprocessing, fine-tuning techniques, prompt engineering, and ethical considerations, the guide equips researchers with the necessary knowledge and tools to effectively integrate ChatGPT into their scientific workflows. 8

Through clear instructions, examples, and guidelines, researchers can navigate the complexities of using ChatGPT, leading to enhanced productivity and improved quality in their research output. Moreover, I address the challenges associated with biases, interpretability, and plagiarism concerns, ensuring the responsible and ethical usage of ChatGPT as a research tool.

The significance of this research lies in its ability to bridge the gap between the rapid advancements in language models like ChatGPT and the research and publication process. By empowering researchers with the skills to leverage ChatGPT effectively, this guide fosters innovation, drives scientific progress, and opens up new possibilities for transformative contributions to various fields. 9

As language-driven technologies continue to evolve, researchers must stay abreast of the latest advancements and best practices. The step-by-step guide presented in this commentary serves as a valuable resource, providing researchers with the knowledge and guidance necessary to maximize the potential of ChatGPT in their research endeavors. By embracing the capabilities of ChatGPT and ensuring its responsible and ethical use, researchers can revolutionize the way research and publications are conducted. With ChatGPT as a powerful tool in their arsenal, researchers are poised to make significant strides in their respective fields, pushing the boundaries of scientific knowledge and ushering in a new era of language-driven innovation. 10

However, and to reiterate, I cannot overemphasize that ChatGPT has, at present, many disadvantages, including inconsistencies, bias, and plagiarism concerns, that must be addressed by the human author before the article is submitted for publication to a journal, as well as prior to publication, because the human author(s) is solely responsible for their research integrity and accurate reporting.

In conclusion, I have attempted to provide researchers with a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively leverage ChatGPT for research and publication purposes. It has also highlighted the problems and precautions that the human author(s) must take before publishing ChatGPT-generated content. By embracing this step-by-step guide, researchers can unlock the full potential of ChatGPT, driving scientific progress and shaping the future of research and publications.

Limitations of summarizing with ChatGPT

While ChatGPT is an impressive AI platform for summarizing articles, it does have its limitations. One key aspect to keep in mind is that ChatGPT's responses are only as good as the prompts provided . If the prompt is vague or unclear, the response may not accurately capture the main points. Additionally, ChatGPT may not always produce summaries that are completely error-free or fact-checked. It's important to double-check the information and verify its accuracy.

n = int(input(“Enter a positive integer: “)) sum = 0 for i in range(1, n+1): sum += i print(“The sum of all numbers from 1 to”, n, “is”, sum)

In this program, the user is prompted to enter a positive integer n. The variable sum is initialized to 0 and then we use a for loop to iterate from 1 to n (inclusive), adding each number to the sum. Finally, the result is printed to the screen.

ChatGPT for homework in business administration

You can also request assistance on your coursework related to economics or business administration.

Please solve the following task: The following data is given for planning the ordering policy of a material type in an industrial company:

Planning period: 180 days Total requirement: 30,000 ME Cost price: 30 GE/MU Order cost rate: 200 GE Storage cost rate: 1.50 GE/ME (related to the planning period) Interest rate: 5% (related to the planning period)

Determine the optimal order quantity, the optimal order frequency and storage range as well as the costs resulting from the optimal ordering policy as the sum of order costs and storage costs (including capital commitment costs).*

ChatGPT result:

The optimal order quantity, order frequency, and storage range can be determined using the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model. The EOQ model balances the trade-off between ordering costs and holding costs.

Ordering costs are the costs incurred each time an order is placed, and holding costs are the costs associated with holding inventory in stock over the planning period.

The EOQ model is calculated using the following formula:

EOQ = √(2DS/H)

Where: D = Total requirement (30,000 ME) S = Order cost rate (200 GE) H = Holding cost rate (1.5 GE/ME)

Plugging in the values: EOQ = √(2 * 30,000 * 200 / 1.5) = √(12,000,000) = 3464.16 ME

The optimal order quantity is approximately 3464.16 ME.

The order frequency can be calculated as the total requirement divided by the EOQ: Order frequency = Total requirement / EOQ = 30,000 / 3464.16 = 8.68 orders

The optimal order frequency is approximately 8.68 orders.

The storage range can be calculated as the EOQ divided by 2: Storage range = EOQ / 2 = 3464.16 / 2 = 1732.08 ME

The optimal storage range is approximately 1732.08 ME.

The costs resulting from the optimal ordering policy can be calculated as the sum of the order costs and holding costs.

Order costs = Order frequency * Order cost rate = 8.68 * 200 = 1736 GE Holding costs = (EOQ / 2) * Holding cost rate * planning period = (3464.16 / 2) * 1.5 * 180 = 126,601.76 GE Capital commitment costs = (EOQ / 2) * Interest rate * Cost price = (3464.16 / 2) * 0.05 * 30 = 523.25 GE Total costs = Order costs + Holding costs + Capital commitment costs = 1736 + 126,601.76 + 523.25 = 127,861.01 GE

*This task was taken from a document published by Prof. Dr. Kay Blaufus.

Note that ChatGPT sometimes makes mistakes, and it is always best to double-check if something it presents to you is correct.

You can get explanations on simple or definitional topics from your studies from ChatGPT as well.

Input: chemistry What are the main concepts of thermodynamics and their applications?

Input: English What is a phrasal verb and how is it used?

Input: history How has European colonial rule evolved throughout history?

Input: computer science How do operating systems work and what are their main uses?

Input: philosophy What are the most important concepts in the history of philosophy and how are they relevant in today’s world?

Input: psychology What is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and how is it used?

How to Use ChatGPT for Summarization: A Step-by-Step Guide

In today's world, we are bombarded with more information than we can possibly handle. We don't have the time or the energy to read everything that comes across our screens. That's where summarization comes in. Summarization is the process of distilling large amounts of information into a shorter, more manageable form. It can be a lifesaver when you need to quickly understand the key points of a long document, article, or report.

Understanding ChatGPT and Summarization

Before we dive into the details of how to use ChatGPT for summarization, it's important to first understand what ChatGPT is and why summarization is important.

ChatGPT is an open-source natural language processing (NLP) technology developed by OpenAI. It is designed to generate text that is indistinguishable from text written by humans. ChatGPT is a state-of-the-art language model that is capable of understanding and generating human-like language. It has been trained on a massive dataset of text from the internet and is capable of generating high-quality natural language text.

Summarization is important because in today's fast-paced world, we are constantly bombarded with information. It can be difficult to keep up with everything that's going on, especially when there is so much to read. Summarization allows us to quickly and easily understand the key points of a long document, article, or report. It saves time and helps us make informed decisions about what to read and how to prioritize our time.

How ChatGPT Can Help with Summarization

ChatGPT can help with summarization because it is capable of generating high-quality natural language text. It can read a long document or article and summarize it in a way that is clear, concise, and easy to understand. This can save time and make it easier to process large amounts of information quickly. ChatGPT can also be customized to generate summaries that are tailored to specific industries or topics.

For example, if you work in the medical field, you might need to read through a lot of research papers and studies. ChatGPT can be trained on medical terminology and jargon to generate summaries that are specific to the medical field. This can save you a lot of time and make it easier to stay up-to-date on the latest research and developments in your field.

Another way that ChatGPT can help with summarization is by generating summaries of social media posts or news articles. With so much information being shared on social media and in the news, it can be overwhelming to keep up with everything. ChatGPT can read through these posts and articles and generate summaries that highlight the most important information.

Overall, ChatGPT is an incredibly powerful tool for summarization. It can help you save time, stay informed, and make better decisions about what to read and prioritize. As the technology continues to improve, we can expect to see even more applications for ChatGPT in the future.

Setting Up ChatGPT for Summarization

Before you can use ChatGPT for summarization, you will need to set it up on your computer. This involves creating an OpenAI account, installing necessary libraries, and configuring API keys.

Creating an OpenAI Account

The first step in setting up ChatGPT is to create an OpenAI account. OpenAI is an artificial intelligence research laboratory consisting of the for-profit corporation OpenAI LP and its parent company, the non-profit OpenAI Inc. OpenAI was founded in December 2015 by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Greg Brockman, Ilya Sutskever, John Schulman, and Wojciech Zaremba. It aims to develop and promote friendly AI for the betterment of humanity.

To create an OpenAI account, you can visit the OpenAI website and follow the instructions for creating an account. Once you have created an account, you will be able to access the API and use ChatGPT for summarization.

Installing Necessary Libraries

After you have created your OpenAI account, you will need to install the necessary libraries on your computer. The libraries you need to install are Python and the OpenAI API library. Python is a high-level programming language that is widely used for web development, scientific computing, data analysis, artificial intelligence, and more. The OpenAI API library is a Python package that provides a convenient interface to the OpenAI API.

Installing Python is straightforward. You can download the latest version of Python from the official Python website and follow the installation instructions. To install the OpenAI API library, you can use pip, the package installer for Python. Open a terminal or command prompt and run the following command:

This will install the OpenAI API library and its dependencies.

Configuring API Keys

The final step in setting up ChatGPT is to configure your API keys. API keys are unique identifiers that are used to authenticate your requests to the OpenAI API. To generate an API key, you will need to log in to your OpenAI account and navigate to the API dashboard. From there, you can create a new API key and copy it to your clipboard.

It is important to store your API key securely on your computer and configure it to work with the OpenAI API library. One way to do this is to set the API key as an environment variable. You can do this by adding the following line to your .bashrc or .bash_profile file:

Replace 'your-api-key-here' with your actual API key. Once you have set the API key as an environment variable, you can use the OpenAI API library to generate summaries with ChatGPT.

Preparing Your Text for Summarization

Before you can generate a summary using ChatGPT, you will need to prepare your text. This involves selecting the right text, cleaning and formatting it, and breaking it down into smaller sections.

Preparing your text for summarization can be a time-consuming process, but it is essential if you want to get accurate and useful summaries. In this article, we will go over each step in detail and provide you with some tips and tricks to make the process easier.

Selecting the Right Text

The first step in preparing your text for summarization is to select the right text. You should choose text that is relevant to your needs and contains the information you want to summarize. This could be a long article, a report, or a series of documents.

When selecting your text, it's important to keep in mind the purpose of your summary. Are you summarizing the text for research purposes, or are you summarizing it for a general audience? The answer to this question will help you determine the level of detail you need to include in your summary.

Another thing to consider when selecting your text is the length. ChatGPT works best with shorter texts, so you may need to break down longer texts into smaller sections.

Cleaning and Formatting Your Text

Once you have selected your text, you will need to clean and format it. This involves removing any unnecessary formatting, such as tables or images, and making sure the text is in a readable format. You may also need to correct any spelling or grammar errors to ensure that ChatGPT can generate an accurate summary.

It's essential to clean and format your text carefully to avoid any errors in the summary. If your text contains too many errors, ChatGPT may not be able to generate a summary at all.

One way to make the cleaning and formatting process easier is to use text editing software that can automatically detect and correct errors.

Breaking Down the Text into Smaller Sections

Finally, you should break down your text into smaller sections. ChatGPT works best when it is given smaller chunks of text to summarize. You can break your text down into paragraphs or sections and submit them to ChatGPT one at a time.

Breaking down your text into smaller sections will also make it easier for you to review the summary and make any necessary revisions. It will also help you to identify any areas where the summary may be missing important information.

Overall, preparing your text for summarization is a crucial step in getting accurate and useful summaries. By selecting the right text, cleaning and formatting it carefully, and breaking it down into smaller sections, you can ensure that ChatGPT generates accurate and useful summaries that meet your needs.

Using ChatGPT to Generate Summaries

Once you have prepared your text, you are ready to use ChatGPT to generate your summary. This involves choosing the right model, adjusting parameters for summarization, and running the summarization process.

Choosing the Right Model

The first step in using ChatGPT to generate a summary is to choose the right model. ChatGPT has several models available, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. You should choose the model that best fits your needs and the type of text you are summarizing.

Adjusting Parameters for Summarization

The next step is to adjust the parameters for summarization. This involves specifying the length of the summary, the level of detail you want, and any other settings that may affect the output of the model.

Running the Summarization Process

Finally, you can run the summarization process. This involves submitting your text to the ChatGPT model and waiting for it to generate a summary. Once the summary is generated, you can review it to make sure it accurately captures the key points of the original text.

Using ChatGPT for summarization can be a powerful tool for managing information overload. By following the step-by-step guide in this article, you can set up ChatGPT on your computer, prepare your text for summarization, and generate high-quality summaries that are clear, concise, and easy to understand.

How does social media use affect depression among teenagers?

2. Define the Research Problem

Once you have chosen a topic, the next step is to define the research problem. The research problem is the gap or the knowledge that you want to explore in your research. Defining the research problem will help you to develop research questions that are relevant and meaningful.

For example, if your research problem is the lack of understanding of the impact of social media on mental health, you can develop research questions such as:

What are the positive and negative effects of social media on mental health?
How can social media be used to promote mental health?

3. Use a Question Stem

Using a question stem can help you to develop effective and relevant research questions. A question stem is a phrase or a sentence that starts with words such as "what," "how," "why," or "when." Using a question stem will help you to focus on a specific aspect of your research problem.

For example, if your research problem is the impact of social media on mental health, you can use the following question stems to develop research questions:

What are the effects of social media on mental health?
How does social media use affect mental health?
Why do people use social media, and what are the effects on mental health?

4. Consider the Research Design

The research design is the plan or the strategy that you will use to conduct your research. The research design will affect the research questions that you can develop. Therefore, it is essential to consider the research design when developing research questions.

For example, if you are planning to conduct a survey to explore the impact of social media on mental health, you can develop research questions such as:

What is the prevalence of social media use among teenagers, and how does it affect their mental health?
How do different social media platforms affect mental health differently?

Example of prompt use

31. guidance on selecting appropriate research designs.

Research is an essential aspect of research life, and it requires a proper plan to conduct it successfully. One of the critical components of research planning is selecting an appropriate research design. The research design is the blueprint for conducting the research, and it outlines the procedures, methods, and techniques that will be used to gather and analyze data. This guidance will provide the necessary information required to select appropriate research designs.

Understanding the Research Question

Before selecting a research design, you need to understand the research question. The research question will determine the type of research design you will use. Ask yourself the following questions:

What is the research question?
What is the purpose of the research?
What are the expected outcomes of the research?

Types of Research Designs

There are different types of research designs, and each design has its advantages and disadvantages. Consider the following research designs:

Experimental Research Design

Experimental research design is used to investigate the cause and effect relationship between variables. It involves manipulating the independent variable and observing the effect on the dependent variable.

Quasi-Experimental Research Design

Quasi-experimental research design is similar to experimental research design, but it lacks randomization. It is used when it is not possible to randomize participants.

Correlational Research Design

Correlational research design is used to investigate the relationship between two or more variables. It does not involve manipulation of variables.

Survey Research Design

Survey research design is used to collect data from a large sample of people. It involves using questionnaires or interviews to gather data.

Case Study Research Design

Case study research design is used to investigate a particular case or phenomenon. It involves in-depth analysis of a particular case.

What are the Differences Between UPDF AI & ChatGPT Paper Research Summarizers?

UPDF AI and ChatGPT are both effective research paper summarizers, and both are powered by GPT. This raises the question: Are there any differences between UPDF AI and ChatGPT summaries?

UPDF AI and ChatGPT have different approaches to summarizing research papers. The former analyzes the entire document and generates the summary, while the latter requires a copy-paste approach to generate a summary. Therefore, there are differences between UPDF AI and ChatGPT summaries. The main differences are as follows:

1. Handle Complex Formatting

UPDF AI is able to easily handle complex formatting in research papers, such as tables, mathematical equations, figures, and similar others. It is because it analyzes the research paper document directly, so it is able to understand complex formatting easily. On the other hand, when you copy-paste a research paper document, ChatGPT might struggle to comprehend complex formatting, leading to inaccurate summaries.

2. Summary Accuracies

Since UPDF AI can directly summarize documents, it can analyze all the information thoroughly and provide more accurate summaries. In contrast, any missed information during copy-paste can cause ChatGPT to provide less accurate summaries. For instance, when you copy the text from a research paper's PDF file, it might not clearly differentiate between spaces and paragraphs, leading to incomplete or jumbled sentences in the summary generated by ChatGPT.

3. Word Count Limit

UPDF AI can summarize lengthy research papers of even 100 pages for free. In contrast, ChatGPT has a word count limit. Its free version can process 3000 words only, while its paid version, ChatGPT Plus, can process 25,000 words. So, if you have a lengthy research paper to summarize, ChatGPT might be unable to summarize it effectively.

Overall, UPDF AI is a dedicated GPT research paper summarizer tool that can provide accurate, precise, and reliable summaries. On the other hand, ChatGPT can also summarize research papers, but it isn't the best choice, especially for lengthy research papers.

Extended Reading of GPT Research Paper Summarizer

Q1. can gpt 3 summarize.

Yes, GPT-3 can summarize the text. The OpenAI's GPT-3 language model can take a longer text and generate a concise summary of it by intelligently capturing the main points from the original text.

Q2. How do I get ChatGPT to summarize a PDF?

To make ChatGPT summarize a PDF, the best way is to use UPDF AI. Begin a GPT-powered tool, that allows you to upload the PDF and get the required summary instantly. It thoroughly analyzes the PDF and then presents the key points in a concise summary. Furthermore, its AI chat box allows you to customize the summary further to get more customized results.

Q3. Can GPT-4 read PDF?

Yes. You can read PDF with ChatGPT 4 after you pay USD20 per month to upgrade to ChatGPT Plus.

ChatGPT has become the major advancement in conversational AI, empowering users to complete a diverse range of tasks with human-like conversations.

And you can also learn how to write a conclusion for a research paper on your own.

How to Use ChatGPT to Write a Research Paper

All these tasks that would have taken you hours, maybe even days, and sometimes longer, can now take just a few minutes or even shorter when you use ChatGPT.

Today I want to talk about the top things that ChatGPT can help you with when it comes to research papers so that you can write your paper much faster.

Before we dive into the specific tips and show you how to use ChatGPT when writing research papers, let me preface by saying that it is just a tool and is limited in many ways. It’s not good enough yet to replace you and replace the researcher in writing the research paper.

You’ve got to understand that you can’t just tell ChatGPT to write a couple of paragraphs for you and then use it as ChatGPT writes it and then submit it. It’s just not going to work like that. Plus, it would kind of be plagiarism although AI isn’t human.

So what you’ve got to do is remember about the limitations of the technology:

One main limitation is that it was trained on data up to January 2022, which means that more recent papers and more recent data are not going to be there.
Another crucial limitation is that it doesn’t pull the references for most things. So when you’re writing the literature review, ChatGPT can write paragraphs for you real quick, but there are no references for them, and you can’t really pull the references for it.
And remember: what ChatGPT writes isn’t necessarily perfect or good enough to be published in a top journal. You will most likely have to take ChatGPT text, improve upon it, revise it before you finally submit it.

So, let’s dive in and let’s see exactly how you can accelerate your progress with your research papers using ChatGPT.

How to Write Research Paper Title with ChatGPT

The first thing that we’re gonna do is get ChatGPT to give us some good research paper titles using ChatGPT.

I’m going to copy and paste the abstract that I’ve already got, and then I’m going to tell ChatGPT to suggest a title for a research paper based on this abstract .

Writing Research Paper Title using ChatGPT

Here is the title of the research paper that ChatGPT generated: “ Unmasking the Academic Impersonator: A Multifaceted Investigation into Detecting LLM-Generated Writing ”.

I think ChatGPT’s title is very good.

Now let’s see if ChatGPT can maybe give us some alternative so that we can choose.

ChatGPT message : Can you suggest two additional titles for the research paper based on that same abstract?

Title 2: “ Guardians of Academic Integrity: Unveiling LLM-Generated Content through Dataset, User Study, and Detection Algorithms “.

Title 3: “ Deciphering the Enigma: Insights into Detecting LLM-Generated Academic Writing via Dataset, User Perception, and Advanced Algorithms “.

ChatGPT message : Can you suggest two more titles which will be phrased as questions based on that same abstract?

ChatGPT Research Paper Titles with Questions

Title 4: “ Can Humans Spot the Imposter? Exploring the Challenge of Detecting LLM-Generated Academic Writing “.

Title 5: “ Is AI Outsmarting Academia? Investigating the Detection of LLM-Generated Content in Research Papers “.

So ChatGPT can clearly give you titles. The way to do it is just to paste the abstract and ask ChatGPT to give you titles. An alternative, if you’ve got the whole introduction written, you can also give ChatGPT the introduction, and it will give you good titles as well.

How to Use ChatGPT to Write an Abstract

Now let’s see if ChatGPT can do the reverse.

Can ChatGPT write an abstract based on the title of your paper?

ChatGPT message : Write an abstract for a research paper based on this title.

The result is really good. It follows the exact structure of an abstract.

How to Write Research Outline with ChatGPT

Now, you can ask ChatGPT to write an outline that includes as many details of your task as possible. For example, I used the title suggested by ChatGPT in the first step.

ChatGPT prompt : Write an outline for a research paper that is [NUMBER] pages long and needs to use [NUMBER] primary sources on this topic: [TITLE]

ChatGPT generated a 33-point outline that details the areas I should cover in my research paper.

How to Write an Introduction Using ChatGPT

We’re going to see if ChatGPT can write an introduction to a research paper.

ChatGPT prompt : Write a [NUMBER] paragraph introduction to a research paper entitled: [TITLE]

ChatGPT wrote a 4 paragraph introduction and it looks very good again.

Find The Research Gap Using ChatGPT

Now we can get ChatGPT to do is to work on a research gap. This is what many PhD students and researchers do.

Let’s see if ChatGPT can suggest us any good research gaps.

ChatGPT message : Suggest a research gap on the topic of detecting ChatGPT-generated academic writing.

This is really well presented.

Writing a Research Question Using ChatGPT

If you have a research gap, you can just give ChatGPT the research gap, and from that, you can get research questions.

ChatGPT message : Suggest two different research questions based on the following research gap.

Both of these research questions are fantastic. And both of them should be investigated.

Making a Research Question More Specific with ChatGPT

A big problem that a lot of people have with research questions or aims is that they are too vague or too general.

What ChatGPT suggests here is pretty good already, but let’s see if it’s capable of making a research question more specific.

ChatGPT message : Make the following research question more specific and precise.

Question #1

ChatGPT Research More Specific Questions #1

Question #2

ChatGPT Research More Specific Questions #2

Right, this is pretty good. This is definitely more specific.

I think ChatGPT can help you to specify your research questions.

If you’re struggling with your aim or research question is too vague, then you can use ChatGPT to make it more specific.

How To Use ChatGPT To Write A Literature Review

You’re just kind of starting out with a topic, and you want to see what are some of the key publications that you should read on that topic just to get yourself started.

Let’s see how ChatGPT can help us accelerate the literature review process.

ChatGPT prompt : I am investigating [TOPIC]. What are the key research papers on this topic I should read?

I have to say that I’m not very impressed. I think the result was affected by the limitations of the data on which the algorithm was trained until 2022.

Nevertheless, you can definitely use ChatGPT to get you the literature that you should start reading.

Writing a Methodology For a Research Paper Using ChatGPT

After reviewing the literature, I ask ChatGPT to suggest the methodology section for the topic. This section will include research approaches and sampling techniques for data collection.

ChatGPT message : Write a research methodology for a research paper based on this title.

As you can see, ChatGPT can help generate the overall structure of the research methodology.

How to use ChatGPT to summarize a research paper

The last thing which I feel ChatGPT could be very useful in research is asking for summarization.

We can ask ChatGPT to summarize a particular paper or the key takeaways that could be important for us from that paper.

In that way, you can just note it down in a proper way with proper citations, which you could use as a literature review in your research writing or academic writing.

ChatGPT prompt: Can you provide a summary of [PAPER NAME]

Can ChatGPT write research papers?

To answer this question, I turned to ChatGPT, here is its answer:

“I can indeed assist in generating content for research papers, including providing structured information, drafting paragraphs, and even offering suggestions for methodology and analysis.However, it’s crucial to note that while I can generate text based on the input and parameters provided, I lack true understanding, creativity, or original thought. Therefore, while I can help with the mechanical aspects of writing a research paper, the conceptualization, critical analysis, and interpretation of research findings are best left to human researchers who possess domain expertise and critical thinking skills. Ultimately, the quality and validity of a research paper rely on the expertise and integrity of its human authors.”

Using the power of ChatGPT can be transformative for those grappling with the daunting task of writing research papers.

ChatGPT won’t write your research paper for you from scratch, but it can make the writing process much easier.

It gives you some content to work with. And then you can rewrite it in your own words.

You’ve got a starting point now.

Here's Everything You Need to Know About Using ChatGPT

Spent all of 2023 hearing about AI and want to try it out for yourself this year? We have you covered.

Learning to use AI chatbots effectively is more important than ever.

If 2023 was the year of AI, then 2024 will be carrying on this trend . You may not have tried out one of the many AI chatbots that hit the scene over the last year, but you've probably heard a thing or two about them. How could you not? OpenAI's ChatGPT gained 100 million users in just two months . It took Instagram and TikTok two and a half years and nine months, respectively, to hit that same mark.

The field of AI chatbots and other generative AI tools is expansive and growing. A short list includes Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Claude.ai, Perplexity, Dall-E and Midjourney, and collectively they're poised to transform how you work, how you get information and how companies do business. But the chatbot craze got started with ChatGPT.

Learning to use and navigate AI chatbots will be increasingly important this year, and if one of your goals is to get more comfortable with AI, you're in the right place. Here's everything you need to know about getting started with ChatGPT.

For more, here's an in-depth look at ChatGPT and how AI is changing the way we answer our health questions .

What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence service that simulates human conversation to attempt to understand your text-based questions and requests and then respond to them. To accomplish this task, the chatbot is pretrained on large data sets (including public webpages) to look for patterns and create understandable and appropriate responses based on your requests or prompts. (The "GPT" part of the name reflects that and is short for "generative pretraining transformer.")

If you really want to dig into what ChatGPT is, we have a handy ChatGPT glossary that can help you make sense of it all.

Before your first ChatGPT prompt…

You can't start asking ChatGPT for help until you make an account with OpenAI.

Navigate to ChatGPT's login page , and you'll be met with the options to Log In or Sign Up. Tap the Sign Up button and provide your name, email address and a valid phone number to verify your account. Note you'll have to accept a couple of disclaimers from OpenAI before you can start prompting ChatGPT.

Tweak some ChatGPT settings

After creating your account and accepting OpenAI's disclaimers, you should do a few more things before asking all of your questions. First, I recommend tinkering with a few ChatGPT settings. There aren't too many settings, but the more familiar you are with the options, the better.

Custom instructions let you give ChatGPT some parameters to work with when answering your prompts -- at least it's supposed to.

The settings that I suggest adjusting are the Custom instructions , where you can give ChatGPT instructions and parameters for how to answer your prompts. These instructions can include information about you, how long or short responses should be, what your hobbies and interests are, and other specifying information. For instance, I told ChatGPT that I was a big fan of Taylor Swift and Formula 1. But when I would ask what music I should try listening to, or what sports I should try watching, this information did not seem to impact the responses I got.

Before your first prompt, define your 'why'

Now that you're set up, you're ready to ask your first question. Before you start typing your prompt, however, stop and think about what you really want out of your query.

You can ask ChatGPT to do all sorts of things for you, but the more focused you are when you're drafting your prompt, the more focused your answer will be. This practice, commonly referred to as prompt engineering , is important if you want useful answers from ChatGPT.

Ready, set, prompt

Prompting ChatGPT itself is simple. On ChatGPT's homepage, you will see a bar labeled "Message ChatGPT…" at the bottom of the page. When you have a prompt in mind, simply type it into that bar.

After you've submitted your prompt, ChatGPT will "think" for a moment, and then return a response to your question. At the bottom of ChatGPT's response, you will see four symbols. A small clipboard, a thumbs up, a thumbs down and a circular arrow.

The small clipboard allows you to copy ChatGPT's response, the thumbs up and thumbs down allow you to tell ChatGPT if its response is good or bad, and the circular arrow will tell ChatGPT to regenerate its response. Note: Regenerating the response will yield a different response than you got the first time.

After you prompt…

Even after ChatGPT yields its response, your job isn't quite done. There are still a couple of best practices to consider before putting ChatGPT's response into action.

Be aware of hallucination : Even if you have crafted a near-perfect prompt, ChatGPT may "hallucinate" in its answer. In the context of AI, hallucination refers to the chatbot returning incorrect and nonfactual information. This is not unique to ChatGPT and can affect other chatbots as well.

It's wise to double-check any advice you receive, and that's especially true when it's coming from a chatbot such as ChatGPT.

And that goes for questions around health and self-diagnosis . If you ask ChatGPT if women can use Rogaine (a hair-loss medication with the active ingredient minoxidil), for example, the chatbot may tell you that women can use Rogaine but only the women's formulations. But this isn't necessarily true. A 2017 study found that there is no chemical difference between men's and women's Rogaine . The only difference is the price, which can be 40% more for the women's version. When I was dealing with some hair loss, my dermatologist recommended me to opt for men's Rogaine to save a bit of money.

Sometimes ChatGPT gets it right. Usually it's close. Once in a while, it's very wrong. Check ChatGPT's answers with a Google search at the very least and, if possible, confirm the answer with professionals.

The answer is just… bad

I go into this much more in my guide on how to write prompts , but ChatGPT is by no means perfect. It will most likely give you an answer that you're not quite satisfied with. Luckily, it's easy to remedy this issue.

First, make sure you're asking a detailed question: The more usable information you put in your prompt, the better chance that you get back a usable answer. (You should be willing to go back and refine your prompt if you're not getting the answers you expected.)

Second, ask clarifying follow-up questions. I've found that this produces mixed results. It can sometimes prompt ChatGPT to refine its answer, but it can also just return more garbage.

Finally, if it feels like you're heading down the wrong path, start a new chat and ask your question again. Note that if you do start over or delete your chat history, your prompts are still on OpenAI's servers.

Does ChatGPT remember what I've asked it?

Your previous prompts will not affect the answers that ChatGPT gives you. I asked ChatGPT to help me brainstorm ideas for a birthday gift for my brother and gave information on his interests in my initial prompt. If I wanted to ask another question about my brother's birthday later, I would need to re-enter the information into ChatGPT.

This won't be the case for long, though. On Feb. 13, OpenAI announced that it's testing ways for ChatGPT to remember details you've discussed in earlier chats when you create new prompts. OpenAI said it was rolling out the features to a "small portion of ChatGPT free and Plus users this week" and will share plans for a larger rollout soon. If you have access to this new feature and you don't want ChatGPT to remember your history, you can disable it by going to Settings , selecting the Personalization tab and then toggling Memory off.

For more on AI, here's what to know about ChatGPT's new memory function and whether or not ChatGPT is helpful when it comes to wooing your loved one.

Is ChatGPT corrupting peer review? Telltale words hint at AI use

A study that identified buzzword adjectives that could be hallmarks of AI-written text in peer-review reports suggests that researchers are turning to ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) tools to evaluate others’ work.

The authors of the study 1 , posted on the arXiv preprint server on 11 March, examined the extent to which AI chatbots could have modified the peer reviews of conference proceedings submitted to four major computer-science meetings since the release of ChatGPT.

Their analysis suggests that up to 17% of the peer-review reports have been substantially modified by chatbots — although it’s unclear whether researchers used the tools to construct reviews from scratch or just to edit and improve written drafts.

How ChatGPT and other AI tools could disrupt scientific publishing

The idea of chatbots writing referee reports for unpublished work is “very shocking” given that the tools often generate misleading or fabricated information, says Debora Weber-Wulff, a computer scientist at the HTW Berlin–University of Applied Sciences in Germany. “It’s the expectation that a human researcher looks at it,” she adds. “AI systems ‘hallucinate’, and we can’t know when they’re hallucinating and when they’re not.”

The meetings included in the study are the Twelfth International Conference on Learning Representations, due to be held in Vienna next month, 2023’s Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems, held in New Orleans, Louisiana, the 2023 Conference on Robot Learning in Atlanta, Georgia, and the 2023 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing in Singapore.

Nature reached out to the organizers of all four conferences for comment, but none responded.

Buzzword search

Since its release in November 2022, ChatGPT has been used to write a number of scientific papers , in some cases even being listed as an author . Out of more than 1,600 scientists who responded to a 2023 Nature survey , nearly 30% said they had used generative AI to write papers and around 15% said they had used it for their own literature reviews and to write grant applications.

In the arXiv study, a team led by Weixin Liang, a computer scientist at Stanford University in California, developed a technique to search for AI-written text by identifying adjectives that are used more often by AI than by humans.

By comparing the use of adjectives in a total of more than 146,000 peer reviews submitted to the same conferences before and after the release of ChatGPT, the analysis found that the frequency of certain positive adjectives, such as ‘commendable’, ‘innovative’, ‘meticulous’, ‘intricate’, ‘notable’ and ‘versatile’, had increased significantly since the chatbot’s use became mainstream. The study flagged the 100 most disproportionately used adjectives.

Scientific sleuths spot dishonest ChatGPT use in papers

Reviews that gave a lower rating to conference proceedings or were submitted close to the deadline, and those whose authors were least likely to respond to rebuttals from authors, were most likely to contain these adjectives, and therefore most likely to have been written by chatbots at least to some extent, the study found.

“It seems like when people have a lack of time, they tend to use ChatGPT,” says Liang.

The study also examined more than 25,000 peer reviews associated with around 10,000 manuscripts that had been accepted for publication across 15 Nature Portfolio journals between 2019 and 2023, but didn’t find a spike in usage of the same adjectives since the release of ChatGPT.

A spokesperson for Springer Nature said the publisher asks peer reviewers not to upload manuscripts into generative AI tools , noting that these still have “considerable limitations” and that reviews might include sensitive or proprietary information. ( Nature’s news team is independent of its publisher.)

Springer Nature is exploring the idea of providing peer reviewers with safe AI tools to guide their evaluation, the spokesperson said.

Transparency issue

The increased prevalence of the buzzwords Liang’s study identified in post-ChatGPT reviews is “really striking”, says Andrew Gray, a bibliometrics support officer at University College London. The work inspired him to analyse the extent to which some of the same adjectives, as well as a selection of adverbs, crop up in peer-reviewed studies published between 2015 and 2023. His findings, described in an arXiv preprint published on 25 March, show a significant increase in the use of certain terms, including ‘commendable’, ‘meticulous’ and ‘intricate’, since ChatGPT surfaced 2 . The study estimates that the authors of at least 60,000 papers published in 2023 — just over 1% of all scholarly studies published that year — used chatbots to some extent.

Gray says it’s possible peer reviewers are using chatbots only for copyediting or translation, but that a lack of transparency from authors makes it difficult to tell. “We have the signs that these things are being used,” he says, “but we don’t really understand how they’re being used.”

‘Obviously ChatGPT’ — how reviewers accused me of scientific fraud

“We do not wish to pass a value judgement or claim that the use of AI tools for reviewing papers is necessarily bad or good,” Liang says. “But we do think that for transparency and accountability, it’s important to estimate how much of that final text might be generated or modified by AI.”

Weber-Wulff doesn’t think tools such as ChatGPT should be used to any extent during peer review, and worries that the use of chatbots might be even higher in cases in which referee reports are not published. (The reviews of papers published by Nature Portfolio journals used in Liang’s study were available online as part of a transparent peer-review scheme .) “Peer review has been corrupted by AI systems,” she says.

Using chatbots for peer review could also have copyright implications, Weber-Wulff adds, because it could involve giving the tools access to confidential, unpublished material. She notes that the approach of using telltale adjectives to detect potential AI activity might work well in English, but could be less effective for other languages.

How-To Geek

How to improve your coding with chatgpt.

ChatGPT can be useful as a programming assistant, but only up to a point.

Key Takeaways

ChatGPT can help improve coding skills by providing code snippets and breaking down complex concepts for better understanding.
Treat ChatGPT as a coding companion, not as a standalone tool, to document, debug, and enhance code efficiency.
Understand ChatGPT's limitations; it can assist with basic coding tasks but may not handle complex scripts well. Be specific in your queries.

The internet is abuzz with tips on improving your programming skills with ChatGPT. A few people are skeptical—and for good reason—that an AI could help them code. This might be an excellent place to start if you want to know how to improve your coding with ChatGPT.

Is ChatGPT Any Good for Coding?

ChatGPT can be powerful as a tool. It can develop more efficient methods of doing things and even give you a heads-up when needed. However, it’s not a human, and you should be wary about what it tells you to do.

ChatGPT can hallucinate vividly and sometimes has trouble recalling things that it just gave you. This is even worse when considering using two approaches to get the same result. It isn’t intelligent enough to know which one of the options you choose to go with, so you’ll have to “label” it.

GPT can serve as a “code companion” to developers. Many of us know that sometimes, we miss tiny details, and GPT can help keep us aware of those details. If you're a new coder, you can ask GPT questions to help you understand complex concepts and break those down into more digestible bits.

More experienced coders can use GPT to look up things they might have spent hours scouring forums. I remember learning a new way to do a wave-function collapse algorithm from ChatGPT after spending almost eleven hours (!) looking for a simple explanation online.

GPT is also really great at giving you code snippets. For example, the prompt, “How do I Sort an Array in Python,” provided us the following code block:

“How can I implement a binary search in Java?” gives you this:

When prompting ChatGPT for snippets like these, be succinct. Don’t combine more than one idea at a time, and specify the language.

Using ChatGPT to Document and Debug Your Code

One of the big problems that coders run into when trying to improve their coding using ChatGPT is that they treat it like a piece of software. Well, sure, it IS a piece of software, but it’s far more helpful if you treat it like a fellow coder.

Documentation is a huge hurdle for many coders (mainly self-taught ones). GPT can give you good suggestions for documenting your code.

Here's an example of how you can use ChatGPT to document code:

If you think a snippet of code could be improved, try feeding it to GPT and see if it can make your code more efficient. This works better for small snippets than for entire scripts. If a bug shows up, you could use GPT to help you debug it. This usually works for syntax bugs, and you’ll have a much harder time chasing down runtime bugs with ChatGPT. In case you're confused, we previously covered the different types of bugs you could run into.

GPT Can Make Learning a New Language Easier

You might run into a few roadblocks when learning a new programming language . Sometimes, the standards for a language might change. Other times, concepts like object-oriented coding might be hard to understand. GPT can break these complex concepts down and make them easier to understand. It is also superb at giving you practical examples to try.

Another excellent way is to ask ChatGPT to provide you with coding challenges in that language. It will examine your actions and guide you on the right path. The upside of using GPT this way is that it will usually nudge you towards industry standards. This makes your self-taught coding better in some employers’ eyes.

Tips for Using ChatGPT for Coding

If you want to use ChatGPT as a coding partner, here are a few things to keep in mind:

Be specific: Tell ChatGPT precisely what you need help with regarding your queries. The vaguer the question, the worse the AI’s response will be.
Verify generated code: GPT is excellent at writing code quickly, but it has issues with the details of the code. Check whether ChatGPT's giving you code you can use and not calling any functions that you (or it) haven’t written.
Understand ChatGPT’s Limitations: GPT can write code quickly and help you comment or refactor it. However, it’s not so good at developing complex scripts or linking multiple scripts. It’s a good code assistant but not a magic bullet to solve all your problems.
Give context: AI can’t read minds (yet), and because of that, you need to tell GPT exactly what you mean when you give it something to work with.

ChatGPT Has Some Flaws…

One of the things you’ll realize when using ChatGPT for your coding is that it has a few flaws. First, ChatGPT is trained on a massive dataset encompassing thousands of lines of code from all over. It doesn’t have any context built into its system.

I’ve personally seen some situations where GPT would give me a call for a function that doesn't even have a definition attached to a particular type, for example:

Another thing it often does is give you a generic answer to a specific question. For example, I’ll ask it for a list of items, and it can give me the code to list and recall those items easily. However, if I ask it to take that list of items and create an inventory with drag-and-drop properties and equipment types tied into it, it's probably not going to give me anything coherent.

The best way to think of ChatGPT is as a coding assistant. It can give you the most basic ideas you need, but it can’t combine them into anything useful without your guidance. Furthermore, it will provide snippets with a few errors, and it’s up to you to know WHY those errors are there and solve the problems that produce them.

Ideally, you want to use GPT to store a lot of information in one place. Coding with ChatGPT can be time-consuming and frustrating, but you will learn from it if you don’t quit halfway through the process.

Can You Improve Your Coding With ChatGPT?

If you use it often enough, ChatGPT can significantly improve your coding. However, you shouldn’t use it as a replacement for learning how to code. GPT doesn’t always conform to industry standards and often produces inefficient code.

It would be best if you used ChatGPT more as an assistant than a teacher. It’s great for teaching you the basics and getting some concepts down, but if you’re already a bit experienced, it’s likely to get you frustrated trying to make it do what you want.

How to Use ChatGPT to Write Your Resume

Struggling to create a perfect resume? Find out how ChatGPT can help you write it and land your dream job.

Key Takeaways

ChatGPT helps you cut out manual work and summarize your resume.
Use ChatGPT to generate outlines and flesh out important sections that will impress potential employers.
ChatGPT Premium subscribers can use custom GPTs to analyze existing information and get more refined answers.

Standing out with your resume can be a huge challenge, but ChatGPT is a great tool to generate ideas and automate some of your editing. Learn how to write a high-quality resume with ChatGPT and how to fix common errors.

How to Write Your Resume With ChatGPT From Scratch

When writing your resume with ChatGPT, you can choose to either write everything from scratch or use a plugin. If you don't have a premium subscription, you're limited to using ChatGPT without custom GPTs. Let's start by looking at how to use the free version.

How to Draft a Resume Outline With ChatGPT

Contrary to popular belief, writing a resume in ChatGPT isn't as simple as a one-and-done prompt. You need to build on the information you add over time. Before adding customized information, it's worth asking the AI tool for a simple outline. To do this, I asked ChatGPT:

"Can you please help me write a resume? I want to land a job as a photographer at an agency."

It's also worth asking ChatGPT to keep everything to one page if that's your preference. ChatGPT provides a simple outline, including suggestions to add contact information, related skills, and a statement or summary.

ChatGPT also suggested that we add references, related educational and professional history, and links to our portfolio.

With these basics, you can spend some time thinking about how you want to customize your resume. Before you move on to the next section, consider learning about the most common ChatGPT prompting mistakes to avoid .

How to Write Your Professional Experience and Resume Summary With ChatGPT

With an overall outline of your resume, you can start filling it out step-by-step. Based on our testing, it’s best to start with your professional experience. This will make it much easier for ChatGPT to generate the rest of your resume appropriately. I gave ChatGPT this prompt:

"For Professional Experience: I have run my own Instagram page for six years about landscape photography. I have grown it to 25,000 followers and achieved 300% year-on-year growth this year. I also have my own blog which has 100,000 monthly readers about travel in the US, for which I have taken all of the pictures. As a freelancer, I have a retainer with my local newspaper and have also worked with agencies. For one agency project, my images helped contribute to a campaign generating $10 million in revenue. Can you please add this to the Professional Experience section and re-generate the draft?"

ChatGPT then fleshed out my Professional Experience section based on this information. You can ask to have your start and (if applicable) end dates added, but you can also add these manually if you'd prefer. Here's what ChatGPT gave me:

Rather helpfully, ChatGPT also adjusted my Objective Statement with the information provided:

The initial summary was quite long, so I asked ChatGPT to shorten it to 150 characters. But since that wasn't very informative, I upped the parameters to three sentences and 280 characters. The result was much better:

Besides avoiding common errors within ChatGPT, you should avoid easy-to-overlook resume mistakes when looking for a new job. Examples include putting education above experience and not customizing your resume for each application. You may also want to learn how to create a resume in Canva if you're interested in eye-catching designs.

How to Use ChatGPT to Outline Skills in Your Resume

Ultimately, your employer will want your skills to match their job opening. Make sure you showcase them in the best way possible when writing your resume with ChatGPT. I gave quite a detailed prompt here:

"Perfect. Now, let's outline my skills. I'm advanced in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, with knowledge of color grading, editing exposure, and using histograms and layers. I also have an Adobe CC All Apps subscription. Furthermore, I've taken over 200,000 photos in various conditions, including golden hour and at night—along with during the winter and summer. Soft skills include time management (I use Google Calendar to block out my entire day) and being excellent at communicating with other people. My visual storytelling skills are evident in my 1,000+ blog posts that clearly highlight the full story of each journey I take. I also know how to use Fujifilm, Nikon, Sony, and Canon mirrorless cameras."

ChatGPT then gave me a relatively detailed summary of the skills I asked it to showcase:

I felt like these needed some more information, so I then asked ChatGPT:

"I think we need to add a bit more. Let's also talk about my creative skills, and move Visual Storytelling into that section. I know all about the exposure triangle and experimenting with different forms of lighting, along with using aperture priority, manual, and shutter priority modes."

ChatGPT also included the soft skills section that was in the first draft:

Once you've got the information you need, you can add these to your resume and tweak them further if you feel like doing so is necessary. Either way, it's important to proofread everything and make sure your resume is accurate before you send it to potential employers.

How to Add Your Educational History to Your Resume With ChatGPT

While employers care more about your work and project experience than your education, the skills you pick up while studying are still worth adding. To start, I gave ChatGPT this prompt:

How to Write a Resume With ChatGPT Using a Custom GPT

Upload a PDF version of your resume.

ChatGPT can help you customize your resume and save hours of time that you'd otherwise spend thinking about what to add. Use the tool to make your writing more concise and summarize the most important parts of your work-related experience. You can also analyze existing resumes if you already have an existing framework. Make sure that you proofread and customize everything to your own needs before you start applying for jobs.
