Treffer: ChatGPT and computational-based research: benefits, drawbacks, and machine learning applications.

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) systems are disrupting how research is conducted across a wide range of disciplines. Many journals have decided not to allow these tools to be co-authors for the purposes of publication, but rather they must be acknowledged by authors as having been utilised in the writing process. Furthermore, due to the hallucinations that these models sometimes produce, authors are to review what is generated and recognise that they hold it to be true and accurate. To date, there has been varying research conducted on the accuracy of GenAI systems and their production of written text. However, new functions that allow GenAI systems to produce coding for constructing tools in computer programming languages highlights a new area that warrants investigation. Therefore, this article puts forth an account of using ChatGPT 3.5 to construct coding to be utilised for a Latent Dirichlet Allocation Topic Model (LDA-TM) for use in a Systematic Literature Review. This is hoped to address three elements of using ChatGPT 3.5 for coding: code review, error resolution, and scripting new code. The code will be aimed at designating an appropriate Hyper-parameter for the Random State for use in the LDA-TM. Within this context, this article will discuss the advantages and drawbacks of utilising this new tool and what it means for researchers who wish to augment their work with computer programming-based applications. To the authors knowledge, this is the first time this has been discussed within the context of the research being conducted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
