A sense of history:

First Nature article ever by Goethe (1869)

The 3 nature papers on DNA structure published in 1953: The Watson-Crick paper is one of the best written manuscripts I have ever read. Please read the delicate three lines on p. 558 by Watson & Crick starting with ("It has not escaped our notice.....", rarely has ONE sentence hidden so much depth and comprehension).

Video tutorials

ChatGPT and OpenAI - Martin LARSEN (Slides)

Of note, since my video presentation I have added a few slides (you can download above). In particular I realised that a ChatGPT detection tool exist (GPT-2 Output Detector). I tried the tool and it works well for texts completely generated by ChatGPT, but if you ask it to improve a text not written by ChatGPT, it doesn't seem to be able to detect the improvements. Generally, it seems to work best with long texts. In conclusion, the tool works but does suffer from a significant number of false positives and false negatives. I'm not convinced that we have the time to verify all texts and hand written text (copied from ChatGPT) would be difficult to test.
