Regarding our recent article, “Elsevier Breaks New Ground: ChatGPT Listed as a Journal Author” Published on March 19, 2023, Elsevier the leading publisher published a Corrigendum on a research article mentioned in the post.
Elsevier issues a correction regarding an earlier announcement that erroneously credited ChatGPT as an author of an academic paper. While ChatGPT is an impressive technology, its contributions to academic work are based on its programming and algorithms, which were created by a team of researchers. This article clarifies the matter and highlights the importance of crediting the human team behind ChatGPT’s development.
