Just to play devils advocate. These kind of papers are very verbose and boilerplate. I can imagine using AI to write 90% but then the actual novel content and explaining what’s important could be handwritten.

Perhaps that’s what’s happening.

Yes, this is the thing. In the scientific enterprise, the writing is mostly wasted time. Why would you write it up if machines can do it competently?

Sure, some people are artists - but most aren't.

If 90% of it is boilerplate, then you really need to question if you have something worth publishing as an academic paper.

It's generally always better for an academic's career to publish something, rather than publish nothing.
