The original purpose of science was to get closer to god. Things change. Arts degrees were also once 7-8 years before the french fought for radical simplification to get them down. There is no law of nature that says PhDs cannot be simplified down more too. The stupification argument comes kneejerk with every new medium, you don't have to believe everything you watch on TV or form a crutch to a screen oracle. Either way, we need not concern ourselves with the average scientist who fails forgettably by being stupid when the potential upsides are great scientists who succeed with it. One point of an AI paper farm could just be to increase that discovery hit space a little while you sleep but no one claims it can or will replace every scientist, hopefully only the pessimistic ones.
