In February 2023 Matthew Brodhead, an associate professor at Michigan State University, asked ChatGPT to write an editorial decision letter for a paper that both reviewers had recommended rejecting, with the editor agreeing, and posted the result on LinkedIn. The letter thanks the author, gives the decision, leaves places for the reviewers’ comments and suggests submitting to another journal.
