> academia is mostly about shitting out as many papers as you can This is the classic case of publish-or-perish, since publication metrics are ubiquitous in all aspects of academic life unfortunately. Measuring true impact is the goal, but it is hard problem to solve for. > and make them as verbose as possible This is just laughably wrong. The page-limits are always too low to fit all the information one wants to include, so padding a text is just not of interest at all. With that said, I wouldn't be surprised if people use ChatGPT a lot. If for no other reason most academics are writing in a language (English) that is not their native language and that is hard to do. Anything that makes the process of communicating ones results easier and more efficient is a good thing. Of course, it can also be used to create incomprehensible word salads, but I've seen a lot of those in the pre-LLM times as well.
