There is now an AI arms race in progress. The fake paper mills use AI
to generate ever-more convincing fake research papers, While
publishers and peer reviewers use AI to try to detect AI created
papers.
The academic system is the problem. Researchers have to get many
research reports published to improve their career prospects, and
publishers and fake paper mills make money from the system.
The pressure on all concerned is tremendous.
