It’s the pre-election period so civil servants (including research funders) are restricted in what they say publicly. This, however, doesn’t apply to academics (despite revoked guidance from RCUK still circulating). @dkernohan summarises the situation. https://t.co/tJggt5WR2F

Are medical studies being written with ChatGPT?
