It is also a somehow hot take because it kinda puts the burden of systemic misconfiguration on individuals shoulders (oh hey we've seen this before, after and all the time, hashtag (neo)liberalism).

I agree people who did that fucked up. But having your existence as an academic, your job, maybe the only thing you're good at rely on publishing a ton of papers no matter what should be taken into account.

This is a huge problem for science not just since LLM's.

Yeah, when you build the hoops you must jump through to maintain your livelihood to be based on a publication machine is it any surprise people gameify it and exploit what they can
