It's really tough to come to terms with it but making academic contributions in general from the outside (with or without AI tbh) is not often welcome and the whole process feels very gate-kept.

(academic.) Unfortunately the overwhelming majority of outsiders are missing core knowledge (or are cranks), so the optimal prior from a time management perspective is to ignore them. AI just makes engaging more costly because there’s more volume and it’s harder to get signal on whether they know what they are talking about.
If that's the case, that makes me much less sympathetic, even though I can understand how it's very disturbing to see the field suddenly changing like this.
