Acknowledging the pivotal role titles play in attracting readership and conveying a study's significance, this research investigates whether AI can match or surpass human capability in crafting compelling titles for academic articles. Material and Methods: Utilizing a sample of original articles from the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal, published in January and February 2023, the study employs OpenAI's ChatGPT to generate alternative titles based on article abstracts. A survey among plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery experts, with a blinded setup regarding the origin of the titles (AI-generated or original), facilitates the comparison. Statistical analysis, including t-tests and the Mann-Whitney U test, assesses preferences across general and specific subject areas within plastic surgery. Results: Findings indicate a predominant preference for original titles, yet in certain subjects like hand/peripheral nerve surgery, AI-generated titles were more favored. On the other hand, in experimental and cosmetic subjects original titles were more favored. Conclusion: The study highlights the potential and limitations of AI in academic creativity, suggesting a nuanced view where AI's effectiveness varies by subject matter, such as experimental and cosmetic subjects. It concludes that while AI exhibits competence in title generation, human oversight remains crucial, especially in areas requiring deep expertise and nuanced understanding. This investigation contributes to the discourse on AI's role in academic publishing, emphasizing the need for balanced integration of AI tools in the scientific communication process.
