This letter responds to Matsubara’s discussion on preserving personal tone in the age of artificial-intelligence-assisted writing. Assistive tools such as large language models (LLMs) can be helpful for busy authors and those who struggle with the English language. Personal linguistic style in a manuscript creates a sense of true authorship. However, LLMs can enhance productivity at various stages of manuscript preparation, not just writing it. Hence, authors may use LLMs judiciously to preserve their writing style or train the chatbots to align with the authors’ unique writing style.
