Fortenbach et al. 2026 transport Kobak et al. 2025's excess-vocabulary method into a single clinical specialty, screening ophthalmology abstracts for changes in word-frequency usage focused on stylistic words previously associated with LLM-generated text — the same abrupt style-word increases Kobak et al. used to date LLM adoption across 15 million biomedical abstracts.

Partly supported

E17 does describe screening ophthalmology abstracts for word-frequency changes focused on stylistic words associated with LLM text, but neither cited text states that Fortenbach adopted Kobak's excess-vocabulary method or that the style-word increases are the same ones Kobak used — that lineage is added.
