The AI Polished Paper Problem: Why We’re Trusting the Wrong Signals

A new study reveals that 1 in 7 biomedical research papers in 2024 may have been written or edited by AI. But the real problem isn’t plagiarism.

It’s persuasion.

AI makes the writing sound more confident. More polished. More human than human. And that’s exactly why we trust it — even when we shouldn’t.

In this episode, we unpack:

• The linguistic fingerprints of ChatGPT in academic writing

• Why confident language earns our belief

• How this shift could quietly rewrite science, business, and policy

If the tone is what convinces us, who’s really doing the thinking?

Thank you,
