This presentation discusses some selected points about the use and misuse of generative artificial intelligence or GenAI in research. GenAI can be a great tool to help researchers perform tasks faster and make popularization of science faster and even convenient, while incorrect or fraudulent use of the technology is a real problem in reviewing and document generation. Also the phenomenon of "paper mills" is discussed. Guidelines for correct use must be put in place and ways to control misuse and misusers found. While GenAI is changing the world of research the change and how change happens offers an interesting and relevant research topic. The presentation will include a short demonstration of using GenAI.
