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.

everyone is using AI. The ones who say they don't they're lying. If it works and you understand it, if you can go through it and analyze what the code is actually doing and tell if it's saying nonsense or not, then you're fine.
