Abstract Aim ChatGPT's role in medical writing is a topic of discussion. I experimented whether ChatGPT almost automatically generates Correspondence or Letter addressed to “translated” article, and thereby wish arouse discussion regarding use writing. Methods input an English article mine into ChatGPT, tasking it with generating Disagreement (Letter 1). Next, tasked translating the manuscript from English‐French‐Spanish‐German. Then, once again German (triplicate translated manuscript) 2). Results Letters 1 2 are readable reasonable, shooting point that author (myself) felt as weakness article. French (single translation) Spanish (double longer (corresponding 2) also readable, thus stand. Conclusions Solely based on this experiment, one may be able write letter even without understanding meaning paper being addressed, let alone language paper. Although humble experiment does not conclude anything, plea for comprehensive implications these findings.
