Answer Explanations
- Weeklyuser-586979Writing boring text.
- Dailyuser-423252Mostly for web searching.
- Monthlyuser-444118I use AI to help verify spelling in my documents. Sometimes I use AI to help narrow down relevant references that I will cite in my work.
- Weeklyuser-520983I use AI mostly as a search engine. My focus is on past literature and protocols but I do use it to identify potential outcomes of a chemical exposure that activates a certain receptor or inhibits a certain enzyme.
- Neveruser-813171Being a teacher I experienced that students are using it as a short cut, to bring the standard of their write-ups from 2/10 to 9/10 so that they don't have to worry about grammatical and other mistakes. Instead of honing the skills they take the easy way. In order to set an example I made it a point not to use AI. Also, I take it as a matter of personal honor that my writing should be original and self-made, not by someone else. I did try using it for automation i.e. preparing a quiz, where formatting of multiple choice questions and answer keys are ready and I can overwrite my own questions - no other use I have done or will be doing
- Weeklyuser-983410The tools have gotten a lot better in the last two years. There have been big positive shifts in its fluency in biology/biochemistry. It (ChatGPT and Claude) can actually produce good references now, which a year ago wasn't happening.
- Rarelyuser-381514I use it mainly to find references to papers but I will not use it summarize or assess the papers. As far as I know it only looks at the published paper and cannot evaluate the SI, which is where the raw data are usually found
- Rarelyuser-887652AI is practically unavoidable when doing online searches, but I don’ use it for analysis or composition.
- WeeklyJonFI use AI tools to generate images for scientific illistrations
- Weeklyuser-655754I usually have it help me with writing code when I get tripped up, especially with a new language.
- Neveruser-284488I haven’t really had an opportunity to investigate their use.
- Dailyuser-505211I used AI when I needed to explore articles to explore and mind map ideas. Almost daily, yeah!
- Rarelyuser-626631Still I need to explore the appropriate use of AI tools
- Weeklyuser-694063Free AI tools are used to check the uality of my english in written text and to have a fast general overview on unknown topics
- Dailyuser-543438I use it to organize my thoughts and streamline menial tasks.
- Dailyuser-634254I use AI tools daily to support multiple aspects of my research workflow. This includes literature review and synthesis in antimicrobial resistance and sexually transmitted infections, drafting and refining research proposals and manuscripts, and structuring statistical analyses such as logistic regression. I also use AI tools to support coding and learning in R and Python for genomic and metagenomic data analysis. Additionally, I apply AI for organizing research ideas, improving scientific communication, and preparing presentation materials. AI functions as a structured research assistant rather than a replacement for critical scientific judgment.
- Dailyuser-444538literature searches, writing assistance, and data analysis.
- Weeklyuser-618493For the grammatical check and linguistic clarity I use AI whenever is needed.
- Dailyuser-890708人工智能主动学习，合理运用，遵循学术伦理。
- Rarelyuser-220562In my regular job, I do not need to use AI. However, when I write scientific articles, I use the tool to help give meaning and clarity to my sentences, since I am not a native English speaker, and the tool provides fairly decent translations when properly instructed.
