> LLMs being able to put out plausible papers is just going to make it worse

If correct form (LaTeX two-column formatting, quoting the right papers and authors of the year etc.) has been allowing otherwise reject-worthy papers to slip through peer review, academia arguably has bigger problems than LLMs.

Correct form and relevant citations have been, for generations up to a couple of years ago, mighty strong signals that a work is good and done by a serious and reliable author. This is no longer the case and we are worse off for it.
