And? AI is a tool, so whether it's an issue depends on the extent of its use.

The latest study also found that LLM use was more frequent in abstracts, introductions and discussion sections than in methods and results sections.

That's really not an issue provided the papers were proof read by the researchers.

    Arguably those sections are exactly where LLM use would be least problematic; i.e., summaries, future work, etc. Those sections are also where language proficiency tends to have the most outsized effect, where LLMs might be used to achieve a degree of clarity and brevity that’s otherwise out of reach. The fact that there was less evidence of use in methods and results would be a good sign WRT usage trends, I would think.
