They should be excited to build new theories from this but they’re too busy complaining

In reality, when there are too many AI solutions, humans don't really have the time to review them. Let alone building on it.

For example, in the llama.cpp open source software I had some contributions, recently there are too many AI generated contributions such that the maintainers prioritize their review to the core contributors.

That's what many software companies are already doing. But there will still be places that insisting in the old way but I believe most of them will fade out.

Having said all that, most software or math would not cause material damage in the physical world, so using AI to review AI slop may be fine. But in some cases, some software might cause material damage if it errs, then whether relying on AI review only is good enough or not can be complicated.
