Nearly 90% of Late 2025 Biomedical Papers Show AI Writing Traces
The finding covers December publications archived in PubMed.
Physicist Sabine Hossenfelder posted a link to a Nature article with the note 'no one could have seen that coming.' The article states that 90 percent of biomedical papers published in December and archived in PubMed show signs of AI assistance, a figure higher than earlier estimates of large-language-model use. One reply noted that the author now uses AI for data work, quality checks, images, and parts of writing as a non-native English speaker. Other replies compared the shift to calculators and raised concerns about easier data fabrication in social sciences.
