Is this happening a lot:
you interact with chatGPT to solve an interesting (TCS/math) question; after 50 prompts, you get some midly interesting result (that would have been a good paper not long ago) and a 50-page page written by the AI.
But then, you're too tired (1/2)

to check it all, and to rewrite it in a clear way. So you just let it there on your computer.

This has happened to me quite a bit, and i guess I'm not the only one.

I gues like with all the shiny gadgets of modern society, it requires discipline. (That being said, I can relate)

it's just that the effort for having the finished product you can put on the arxiv is vastly larger than the one to get the result together with a full AI-generated paper.
And the current incentives for publishing new results are not that high anymore, unless it's a breakthrough [cut off]

Thread by Anthony Leverrier about getting a mildly interesting TCS/math result and a 50-page AI-written draft from ChatGPT and then lacking the energy to verify and rewrite it for arXiv, with a reply from Franz Schreiber and Leverrier's follow-up about weak incentives for publishing new results.
