> Conventional research papers require readers to invest substantial effort to understand and adapt a paper's code, data, and methods to their own work [...]

But that's the point! If we take out the effort to understand, really understand something on a deeper level from even research, then how can there be anything useful build on top of it? Is everything going to loose any depth and become shallow?

I'm just imaging someone trying to defend their PhD or comprehensive and only having surface level knowledge of the shit their AI bot has cited for them.

Fyi - this is actually happening right meow. And most young profs are writing their grants using ai. The biggest issue with the latter? It's hard to tell the difference with how many grants are just rehashing the same stuff over and over.
