  Artificial-intelligence tools in research like ChatGPT are playing an
increasingly transformative role in revolutionizing scientific publishing and
re-shaping its economic background. They can help academics to tackle such
issues as limited space in academic journals, accessibility of knowledge,
delayed dissemination, or the exponential growth of academic output. Moreover,
AI tools could potentially change scientific communication and academic
publishing market as we know them. They can help to promote Open Access (OA) in
the form of preprints, dethrone the entrenched journals and publishers, as well
as introduce novel approaches to the assessment of research output. It is also
imperative that they should do just that, once and for all.
