Should&nbsp;we&nbsp;abandon AI altogether?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not exactly. AI tools, such as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/paperpal?utm_source=editageinsights&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=202609\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Paperpal<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0that are\u00a0built for academic writing\u00a0are indeed great for saving time and working efficiently.\u00a0You can\u00a0obtain\u00a0an outline for structuring your paper, paraphrase your sentences, and even use the tool to brainstorm ideas\u00a0as you develop your research manuscript.\u00a0Essentially, you\u00a0should ensure that\u00a0AI authenticity is verified by human review.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"voice-3\"><strong>How to Edit AI-sounding&nbsp;Text<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This brings&nbsp;us to&nbsp;the&nbsp;best ways to paraphrase AI-generated&nbsp;text.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"voice-31\"><strong>1.&nbsp;Recognize transition words&nbsp;that appear repetitive&nbsp;and replace them<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Formal or academic writing commonly uses transitional phrases like \u201cmoreover,\u201d \u201chowever,\u201d&nbsp;\u201cnot only\u2026but also,\u201d \u201cit is important to\u2026\u201d etc.&nbsp;These are not technically incorrect. Yet,&nbsp;their repeated&nbsp;excessive use&nbsp;makes the writing sound like AI prose.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong>&nbsp;Use a range of connectors.

Or worse, when you eventually publish your paper, will the findings be flagged as plagiarized because an AI tool&nbsp;has&nbsp;perhaps used&nbsp;them&nbsp;as reference to output information to&nbsp;its users?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>b) Interpretation of findings requires critical thinking, which is&nbsp;a human skill and not a task for machines.&nbsp;The tool could convolute the implications of your findings&nbsp;and&nbsp;align the interpretation with its own training datasets rather than&nbsp;<em>your<\/em>&nbsp;intended meaning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore,&nbsp;prevent this loss of nuance&nbsp;by&nbsp;retaining&nbsp;technical jargon where relevant and using field-specific terminology.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AI sentence:<\/strong><em>\u00a0<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">SPSN is a concept close to RSN.
