Chatgpt excels at automating the mundane, time wasting parts of writing scientific articles such as avoiding self plaigerism. It is common that one scientist will write many papers about a single data set, apparatus, or observation as they try to understand what they don't understand about the system of study. Journals have banned copying and pasting descriptions of these static sections of the paper claiming this is plaigerism even when the author of the paper was the author of the previous work. Chatgpt is rather happy to spend a couple seconds rewriting sections describing these data sets or lab setups so that it provides you with a new paragraph or paragraphs that contains identical content but different words. This is a net positive in my opinion because now instead of spending an afternoon or two rewriting sections of previous papers for new papers, I can ask chatgpt to do it for me and go relax having a beer in the sun instead.
