What's so puzzling about this stuff is that I get why they're using AI to write the text because writing is hard. But why don't they at least read it once before submitting?

Reading is hard too. If only there was an AI that could do the reading

I don't even get the writing aspect. An LLM is 100% accurate when it has as many errors as an average human, so your product will always be worse with AI. Always. It's never good to use it.

CTRL+f, "AI", enter

but no, let's not take literally 5 seconds to check whether the AI got confused and included an admission of your shame in the paper.
