What is the actual point of a generative text model that emits plausible-sounding scientific technobabble? How this is not just a DDOS against the entire system of peer review?

Honest question: how can this be used for any kind of good? What’s the actual point?

Answer: The actual point of a generative text model that emits plausible-sounding scientific technobabble is to generate text that is similar to the training data.
