If you use it to just get started, but actually read it and have the expertise to fix mistakes and make it relevant, it's probably fine. Not necessarily because it's faster, but because some people just suck at getting started, and having nonsense to correct is easier to start correcting than turning whitespace into something.
Yeah, fair enough. Someone here in the thread already said they use LLMs to just outline what to write and how, and then start something along these lines from scratch
On the side of authors, please, PLEASE do not use any AI tools when writing your articles.
It's actually very easy to get into Q3-Q4 with absolute crap, and let's just respect each other - not to mention keep your reputation :)
I know it's tedious and I don't like sitting at 4am writing articles, either, but yeah - it's important :D
That's not to say journals shouldn't do a better job.
