Researchers warn LLM-proof papers could flood academia with correct but unreadable writing

The post amplifies a research-culture warning: as LLMs make it easier to generate correct proofs, researchers must not accept pure AI writing or generally bad writing.
The quoted argument says that machine-generated proofs can be correct yet hard to understand, which creates an incentive to flood the literature with poorly written papers that still contain interesting results. The author urges people to push back and establish new norms instead of tolerating that trend.
