Sounds fair, as long as it's clear to everyone that those are AI generated papers, and no humans claim the papers as their own.
We are rapidly moving to future when there are AIs writing the tons of verbose, incorrect slop; and other AIs are reading that slop; and yet another AIs remix it into more plausibly-sounding but also incorrect pages. The whole ecosystem pretending to work, but actually just moving somewhat-incorrect facts around.
