What makes AI content 'low quality'?

AI-generated papers often exhibit characteristics like repetitive phrasing, lack of genuine insight, or even fabricated data, making them difficult for human moderators to assess quickly. They might also plagiarise existing work or fail to meet the specific academic standards expected in scientific fields. This influx of unoriginal material burdens the system and dilutes the overall quality of the repository.
