Abstract
This letter discusses findings from a recent study comparing AI-generated and humanwritten neurosurgery articles. The study reveals that AI-generated articles exhibit higher readability scores (Lix: 35 vs. 26, Flesch-Kincaid: 10 vs. 8) but may lack depth in analysis. Evaluators could correctly identify AI authorship with 61 % accuracy, and preferences were nearly even between AI-generated (47 %) and human-written (44 %) articles. While AI improves accessibility and efficiency in academic writing, its limitations in clinical experience, originality, and nuanced analysis highlight the need for human oversight. The integration of AI should be as a complementary tool rather than a replacement for human expertise. Future research should focus on refining AI's analytical capabilities and ensuring ethical use in scientific publishing.
期刊介绍:
This International journal, Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, publishes articles on clinical neurosurgery and neurology and the related neurosciences such as neuro-pathology, neuro-radiology, neuro-ophthalmology and neuro-physiology.
The journal has a broad International perspective, and emphasises the advances occurring in Asia, the Pacific Rim region, Europe and North America. The Journal acts as a focus for publication of major clinical and laboratory research, as well as publishing solicited manuscripts on specific subjects from experts, case reports and other information of interest to clinicians working in the clinical neurosciences.
