Researcher predicts at least 5% of batch-submitted AI-assisted manuscripts will be pure slop

doomslide predicts that a large fraction of manuscripts produced via "lean-free slopdrop" batch submission will turn out to be wrong — some fixable with surgical edits by human experts, others requiring complete overhauls even when the underlying result holds, and at least 5% will be useless slop.
The prediction captures growing concern about quality collapse as AI-generated papers flood academic publishing.
