Is that effect any different than the one you'd get if you have biased references, or biased search results, when doing the researchb for your writing?

Well of course it will be different. One has to do with another author publishing questionable data and the other would be related to misunderstanding of someone else's published data. In this case, the use of AI in writing is implied to result in authors not being in control of what they themselves publish.

All of these are bad but do not necessarily arise on purpose. But let's not add ways to muddy the already mudied waters of science.
