Academic integrity is the bedrock of scientific progress, and we are currently seeing a dangerous slide toward mediocrity. If a researcher cannot even be bothered to write their own conclusions or analyze their data without a large language model doing the heavy lifting, they simply should not be publishing. Implementing a one-year ban for those who outsource the entire creative and intellectual process to AI is a necessary step for our community. We are not just talking about simple grammar checks here; we are talking about the total abdication of critical thought. If we allow synthetic research to flood our repositories, we risk burying actual human breakthroughs under a mountain of machine-generated noise. Research is about the human struggle for discovery, not prompt engineering skills. It is time to protect our archives. #science #education #ethics
