Well, one can also use language models to massage non-native or poor English. I tested it and it seems to basically work. Not that I would blindly trust the results without proofreading.
That would be an appropriate use of LLMs…provided that you could trust it to make accurate improvements while maintaining the essential information in the paper. I’m dubious that any extant LLM could do that beyond just massaging the grammar, and even that would require thorough proofreading.

My Facebook feed has been getting flooded with AI-generated images, mainly birds. Can’t get much more obvious than this:
Several perpetrators list a street address on Archer Ave in San Luis Obispo that either does not exist or, rarely, does exist but is occupied by something completely different. I’ve been reporting their pages to Facebook as fake but I’m guessing they won’t do anything about it.
