Return of the solo author: The changing division of labor in science in the age of generative A
arXiv:2607.10780v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern science has experienced a long shift from individual work to team production. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) might appear to extend this trajectory by lowering research costs and enabling larger-scale collaboration. Yet if tasks once performed by coauthors can be delegated to AI, the same technology may also weaken the need for collaboration in parts of the research process. Here, we examine this tension by moving beyond average tea
