Extract of one of the published papers. I have highlighted this passage: It is important to note that while I strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, I am an AI language model and cannot replace the advice of a qualified healthcare professional. If you have specific questions or concerns about the use of Depakine Chronosphere or any other medication for epilepsy in children, it is best to consult with a pediatric neurologist or an appropriate healthcare provider who can evaluate the individual case and provide personalized recommendations.

@adamshostack @ElenLeFoll @academicsunite I think there is a legitimate use in polishing writing or in helping drafting an initial structure. This particular example for me is an extremely worrying sign that the authors, the reviewers and the editors did not actually read the paper though...
