Still following the recent post, link above, about the "monopoly" ChatGPT viewer, it is important to try to understand how the academic community worldwide is studying the "hit virtual conversationalist" that promises fabulous profits for those "who harness the technology potential" https://www.economist.com/business/2023/05/29/nvidia-is-not-the-only-firm-cashing-in-on-the-ai-gold-rush
A search carried out on the Scopus database shows that so far almost 600 academic publications about ChatGPT have already been indexed on that platform. Without any doubt, before the present year ends that figure will rise to a few thousand. The most active scientific area so far has been the area of medicine, which represents almost 50% of these publications. This may be related to the fact that ChatGPT shows high capacities in solving important medical challenges, as well as to the fact that ChatGPT is, at least according to a study by the University of California, able to give medical answers with much more empathy than the doctors themselves. https://neurosciencenews.com/chatgpt-doctor-compassion-23133/
The same search on Scopus also shows that the journal Annals of Biomedical Engineering is the one with the most publications related to ChatGPT, the second place is occupied by the well-known journal Nature.
