>Get ready for a lot of "we used AI to write an academic paper and it got published in this journal" stories.

Already happened, and the linked example is far from the only case: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01436-7

As someone who used to work in science, I feel the general public doesn't have much of an idea how flawed the peer-review system is in practice. Low quality journals that simply print anything aside, this was an issue long before such language models became good enough to write papers, because humans are perfectly capable of producing nonsense research without the aid of machines. I'm not sure what philosophies/religions will replace the current cult but ultimately it's probably a good thing that this blind belief in such institutions gets eroded. They should never had had that much power over people's minds to begin with.
