Well, Johan, ChatGPT certainly writes better abstracts than most academics, from what I've seen in my 20 years' experience as an editor. And the academics will get worse at this. Where is the incentive now to learn the difficult art of writing a summary? AI is going to make people stupider. Ability to summarize is not just for writing academic abstracts: it's a skill with applications in many areas of life. (Of course, not having read those papers, I can only assume that ChatGPT 'understood' them and got the content right.)
