Then checking the AI-generated theory is too much work again, it can be skipped. Some theorists choose to trust the ultra-confident AI more than their own eyes anyway, so there is no need to check.
Depressing: we've witnessed the birth of the fully automated theorist, unable to write anything that isn't copy-pasted from ChatGPT. (Why is it always ChatGPT?)
1. Suggest a half-baked "theory" to AI
2. AI is happy to write confidently about it, expand it to a full-sized article, including hallucinated (made-up) evidence. OMG it's working!!!
3. Publish on Amazon, register a patent...
4. Profit!

Also depressing: mass-produced AI slop. Articles and entire books like this one, summarizing existing theories and proposing a "Path Forward", "New Approaches", "Future Directions": You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
