If you think that people aren't going to [input 800 words] *ChatGPT compress to 350 words* [output 350 words] - then you have never submitted a scientific abstract. Its a stupid limit - but there it is. I'm much happier writing 800 words and having a computer compress them than I am performing the same task.

Look - ChatGPT, Google Cloud Services, Microsoft Word, JPG compression, Logitech Keyboard Manufacturers, and the Intel Compute Platform all helped you write the paper. You are the author; they are not. ...
You did not scratch it on the tablet yourself with a tool you made yourself; many tools were used in the making of the paper. You are the author, and the user of tools.

This is actually a terrific appointment. A Government (at least contractor) through-and-through guy on a half-dozen projects/programs for NASA/DoD, double PhD, who moonlights as a scifi author and has been on the Ancient Aliens TV program. If he says "I dunno. Beats me." on 143/144 of the UFOs - its like "You got some other guy who has a more qualified opinion?". If someone was gonna say "Aliens, and you guys gotta believe me", it was him. And he didn't.

I don't get the "The Government got to him first" vibes on it either.

Basically this - anytime someone mandates an app on a phone you can just assume that its a bad actor. Also - having two phones is shockingly easy and affordable now. I had a burner phone with FreedomPop (200 texts, 200mb data, free) for a while. Basically "this only works on wifi" and a Google Voice number. You can turn an old phone into a burner somewhat easily as well.
