Abstract

As part of our own exploration of the use of artificial intelligence (AI), we used ChatGPT in support of the development of this manuscript in three ways: (1) in the search for some references used and/or related digital object identifiers; (2) in the formatting of the reference page; and (3) in copyediting/reducing two manuscript sections of text. No AI systems were used for data analysis, conceptual development, or the generation of original content. The authors reviewed and verified all text and take full responsibility for the integrity, accuracy, and originality of the work. Data sharing not applicable to this article as no datasets were generated or analyzed during the current study.
