The question is: is AI breaking the system, or was it always broken and does AI merely show what is broken about it?

I'm not a scientist/researcher myself, but from what I hear from friends who are, the whole "industry" (which is really what it is) is riddled with corruption, politics, broken systems and lack of actual scientific interest.

Everyone even remotely close to the system knew that this was broken and this is just bandaid. More fundamental changes would be needed to fix this.
"Broken" is a spectrum. Adding rapid-fire AI exacerbates the existing problems and makes it harder to fix them.
Yeah, a single drip of water leaking out of a pipe is "broken" but is substantially different than a deluge flooding out constantly.
