The first question is hardest to answer because their a lot of different ways that an LLM will help in writing a paper. Yes, there will be some people who don’t, but over time they will become a minority.
The other questions are easier.
The straightforward answer is that right now, openAI have said that you should acknowledge its use in publication. If you acknowledge a source, then it is not plagiarism.
So currently a practice for some journals is you have an author contribution list, where you list the different parts of an article and which author contributed to them. e.g. AB contributed to the design and writing, GM contributed to the writing and analysis etc…
One can imagine then you would add a LLM (and its version etc...) to the contribution part to make it clear its involvement.
If this became common practice then it would be seen as unethical not to state its involvement.
