   Why would someone ruin their academic credentials and reputation (at a reputable university) like this? Maybe there was nothing to begin with? Otherwise I can't understand this.

      I think it might be taking a position in the use of AI, They don't appear to be concealing their use.

      If the papers were of a uniformly high standard then I might not have a problem with it.

      If they are hoping some of them are good and the review process will filter out the bad then it seems like they are not doing research, they are writing hypotheses and at pushing the work of testing them onto the reviewers.

      I could also see that being done to make some sort of statement about the review process, but it's not clear if that is their goal.

      He's wasting people's time, which is already the resource that many people lack any to spare. I'm not sure if he realises this part.

         Could probably write a real research paper based on the acceptance outcomes of all of these LLM written papers.
