Can I use AI to write my research paper or is that cheating?

Okay so there's this new book, "The Scientist's Guide to Writing" third edition, and apparently it has a chapter about "AI writing tools" . It covers the "benefits and pitfalls of using LLMs" and the "legal, ethical, and professional implications scientists need to consider before working with them" .

Which is great and all, but I need answers NOW, not after I buy a textbook.

My professor said we can use AI for brainstorming but not for actual writing. Another professor said any AI use is cheating. Which one is it? 😤

The book apparently also covers "preprinting and predatory journals, humor and cultural references in titles, graphical abstracts, and managing very large coauthorship teams" . That's a lot.

Has anyone actually read this? Is it worth buying or can I just find the AI chapter somewhere?
