For a scicomm publication I wrote the abstract of my explainer article leveragjng ChatGPT

https://www.theseedsofscience.org/2022-general-antiviral-pro...

(after I had written the rest of the article and long after writing the academic paper underlying it.

Although, the published abstract reads nothing like the abstracts that ChatGPT generated for me because of the subtle but important factual inaccuracies it generated. But I found it helpful to get around my curse-of-knowledge in producing a flowing structure.

My edited, manually fact-checked result flowed less fluidly but was accurate to the article body’s content. Still overall glad I did it that way. I would have otherwise fretted over format/structure for a lot longer.
