This sounds like they're endorsing the game of how much can we get away with, towards the goal of slipping it past the reviewers, and the only penalty is that the bad paper isn't accepted.

1. "Suspected" is just that, suspected, you can't penalize papers based on your gut feel 2. LLM-s are a tool, and there's nothing wrong with using them unless you misuse them
