Potential of artificial intelligence in textual cohesion, grammatical precision, and clarity in scientific writing

Abstract

Introduction: the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in writing has significantly increased in recent years, promising improvements in textual coherence, grammatical precision, and clarity of ideas. This study focused on evaluating the long-term impact of AI usage on these aspects of academic writing.Objective: Identify the long-term effects of AI on cohesion, grammatical precision, and clarity in academic writing, while also exploring its ethical implications.Methods: a qualitative systematic review was conducted using the SALSA method, analyzing recent studies that address the influence of AI on writing quality. The databases used included Scopus, Web of Science, SciELO, and Latindex, with results restricted to publications since 2023.Results: the findings indicate that AI can enhance cohesion, precision, and clarity in texts, especially when used as a support tool. However, the effectiveness of these improvements depends on the context of use and the appropriate integration of human intervention.Conclusions: although AI offers clear benefits in improving academic writing, its use raises ethical and legal challenges that must be addressed. It is crucial to continue researching to optimize these tools and ensure responsible use in educational settings
