This paper discusses OpenAIs ChatGPT, a generative pre-trained transformer,
which uses natural language processing to fulfill text-based user requests
(i.e., a chatbot). The history and principles behind ChatGPT and similar models
are discussed. This technology is then discussed in relation to its potential
impact on academia and scholarly research and publishing. ChatGPT is seen as a
potential model for the automated preparation of essays and other types of
scholarly manuscripts. Potential ethical issues that could arise with the
emergence of large language models like GPT-3, the underlying technology behind
ChatGPT, and its usage by academics and researchers, are discussed and situated
within the context of broader advancements in artificial intelligence, machine
learning, and natural language processing for research and scholarly
publishing.

本文讨论 OpenAIs ChatGPT，一种用于文本型用户请求（即聊天机器人）的生成式预训练转换器。讨论了 ChatGPT 及类似模型背后的历史和原则，以及其对学术界和学术研究出版的潜在影响。ChatGPT 被认为是自动准备论文和其他类型学术手稿的潜在模型。此外，还讨论了可能出现的潜在伦理问题，并将其置于人工智能、机器学习和自然语言处理的更广泛进展的背景之下。
