As AI-generated research text becomes abundant and cheap, scarce assets for researchers are now attention, data, and resources; for editors, peer review and print space. As a result, science is shifting more from merit-based discovery to reputation-driven influence. giorgio.gilest.ro/the-weimar-o...
