The comparison to make here is that a journal submission is effectively a pull request to humanities scientific knowlegde base. That PR has to be reviewed. We're already seeing the effects of this with open source code - the number of PR submissions have skyrocketed, overwhelming maintainers.

This is still a good step in a direction of AI assisted research, but as you said, for the moment it creates as many problems as it solves.
