JAMA takes action to combat “AI slop” submissions

What happened

The medical journal JAMA and its 13 sister journals have tightened their rules on how authors may use AI and how they must disclose it. The editor-in-chief said the journals have seen a massive spike in letters to the editor, and that only 3.3% of more than 100,000 submitted manuscripts declared any AI use, a figure she said the editors do not believe.
