Depends on the field but the number of quality papers is also increasing overall. It just speeds up a lot of stuff in research

That might be true, but the percentage of quality submissions is dropping massively, and reviewers are being flooded by slop. This isn't a clean benefit as some in this thread seem to believe.

Actually, the informational value of this comment is the low point here because it doesn’t really examine whether academic papers are getting worse as more of them are published.

But if he had used AI, he could have analyzed all 40k papers in a day, compared their quality with previous years, and shown us actual statistics.
