AI writes along — responsibility stays human
A new preprint estimates that 89% of English-language biomedical papers published in December 2025 in the open PubMed Central corpus show excess LLM-associated vocabulary. That is a population-level estimate of signs of writing or editing assistance, not proof that 89% of all research papers were written by AI. Nature reported the result while Nature Computational Science set out the necessary response: disclose material AI use, keep scholarly judgement and accountability human, and never treat generated data or citations as fact.
