It's like all those scandals in academia recently with people catching "peer-reviewed" articles that have this sentence in them: "as a large language model, I cannot X":

scientists, especially if English is not their native language, getting a little help from AI to more clearly express their thoughts: OK to good
scientists with actual results to share wholesale letting AI do the explaining for them: not so good, maybe OK
scientists just using AI to take half ass lab results into something publishable: bad
journals that rely on the free labor of other academics to peer review also not bothering to check: really bad
mega corporations who charge bazillion dollars to allow access to reading publicly funded research happily allowing all of that to go through without the very basic of paying a copy editor a minimum wage to Ctrl + F for "As a large language model": straight up evil
