Use of artificial intelligence

Use of artificial intelligence and Large Language Models (LLM)

The use of artificial intelligence (AI), ChatGPT, and other LLM-based tools for writing scientific articles is becoming increasingly common. The journal Archivos de Medicina will not allow AI algorithms to be included in the list of authors. If it is necessary to mention them, this should be done in the 'Acknowledgements' section, and their use must always be declared in the 'Methods' section, where the type of use given to the tool during the manuscript creation process should be made explicit. Failure to acknowledge the use of the AI tool for the total or partial writing of the article will be considered plagiarism and reported as such to the institution to which the authors are affiliated  [1-4].
