Generative AI is an artificial intelligence system that can create new content such as text, images, or music, by learning patterns and structures from existing data in a human-like way. Based on "large language models", which can be conceptualized as a complex neural network, similar to a brain, that generates an output from any given set of inputs. Examples include ChatGPT, Gemini, Dall-E.
Prompting for these services should be clear, specific. Consider using the phrase "be brief" in your prompts to get more usable responses. Beware of hallucinations where the generative AI produces factually inaccurate responses, often in an effort to prioritize human-like outputs.
Generative AI can help make detailed timelines for things like the IRB write-up, assist in performing a literature review using services like Consensus, Perplexity and Genei, and help write the manuscript by brainstorming arguments or improving your writing/grammar.
AI has many limitations/ethical considerations and disclosure of its use for publication is essential.
