That's exactly the point. If you want to be a researcher right now you have to play their game. You have to publish papers even if you don't have anything. So people publish bullshit, use chatGPT, force their name on papers they haven't contributed and so on.

Meanwhile the science journals get paid by everyone and pay no one.
