>Since 2020, most new "theory" has been AI assisted slop anyway
No it fucking hasn't. My brother in Marx, read a fucking book, not just fucking Reddit posts or whatever the fuck you're getting this impression from.
>AI can write theory,
Not competently. LLMs do not have the material basis to actually understand theory designed for human beings who have to eat, and socialize, and work for money, and sleep. An LLM can imitate the format of a thesis, but it's completely impossible for an LLM to understand a thesis and actually check, using human judgment, whether or not it makes sense - attempts to synthesize human reasoning with lines of code always result in overly simplistic simulations of human logic. It can fool a fucking nitwit who doesn't understand this, or crank out a paper to be quickly graded without close inspection, but it cannot competently produce theory. It can competently produce Redditoid garbageposts.
Otherwise, I basically agree with the rest of your post, except your argument is fucking trash and you had to go and throw in these stupid false premises and antagonistic "YOOOOOOOU PEOPLE WILL DISMISS IT AS COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE" - like, no I won't.
