I am old enough to remember when you needed to manually assemble a technical paper that you were submitting for publication. You needed to print out the separate sections in extra large print, physically paste them onto a large sheet of card stock, cut out and paste in the developed photo prints for your figures, and then mail the whole thing in to the publishers to be shot by them with a high quality overhead camera.
Then one year, all of that ended. Thanks to the magic of desktop publishing, no part of the process needed to exist in the physical world anymore.
The world didn’t come to an end. Sure, it became easy for anyone to make paper submissions look like they were polished and professionally typeset.
But that didn’t change the fact that the original contents of your paper needed to be of high quality. When reviewers judged your work, the now highly polished look of every paper submission simply factored out in the wash.
I suspect that something similar will happen as A.I. becomes more and more ubiquitous. We will all learn to see the difference between truly original work (the kind created by human minds), and highly polished summaries and restatements of the work of others (what Large Language Models are spectacularly good at).
It will be like desktop publishing all over again.
