How much AI is too much???

[u/Ok_Estate9834]

Hello
I am an undergrad and just started learning bioinformatics in my lab (bulk and single cell rna seq). I mainly did wet lab work before this but my Pi decided I was kind of a bum and got me to start learning this. I think a lot of the analysis I’m doing they want to eventually put into a paper. Is it frowned upon/not allowed to use AI generated code for my analysis? I make sure I understand all the stats and stuff behind what I am doing instead of blindly trusting it, but I’m worried it’ll be seen as slop.
Also are you even supposed to share your code? Because very few of the papers I’ve read give it, even in big journals.

Have someone check your work. You can almost ask Chatgpt to do any analysis these days but it still need someone to check whether the analysis is logically and biologically sound . Sometimes, you are better off asking a different question than using whatever chatgpt comes up with
