Isn't any attempt to ban the use of AI a rear guard battle that we can 
only loose in the long term?

Wouldn't it be better to accept the new reality that any kind of serious 
text will be prepared with the help of AI in the future?

In the humanities, completely AI-generated papers have already been 
accepted at top-level venues.

There is little doubt that AI can help us write better papers, too.

What we don't want is low-quality papers that waste precious reviewer 
time (who presumably also
increasingly use AI for their reviews sometimes).

But from a purely scientific perspective I don't see why it matters how 
an excellent paper was written; all that
matters is that it is excellent.
