Bietti & Bangerter 2026 anchor their warning that LLMs risk decoupling writing from thinking in prevalence estimates — more than one in ten biomedical papers published in 2024 and over 20% in some fields — consistent with the lower bounds Kobak et al. 2025 derived from excess vocabulary, showing how measurement studies now feed the normative debate.
E14 contains the decoupling-writing-from-thinking warning, E15 presents the >1-in-10 (2024) and >20%-in-some-fields estimates within that warning, and these are numerically consistent with Kobak's ≥13.5% and 40% lower bounds in E1, with E15 noting the debate has broadened to norms of disclosure and accountability.
