A research paper is not bulk work like a house. It's more like a watch, and a watchmaker using a screw gun is daft.

Thats another point. Fair enough.

But still I dont think that science will stall just because of chatgpt.

Journalism? Will for sure. But scientific publications have a systemic problem (like publisher-polism, pubscores etc) And outsourcing writing work to chargpt is - in my opinion - non of them.

Sure, but using bad tools to do things is going to get you worse results that using the right tools. If we define worse as "less volume" then sure GPT is fine.
