Taking this as a serious proposal:
my guess is that it pays less well than industrial AI research for the most part
so probably it mostly ends up increasing the number of grad students + professors in AI
you could potentially use this to increase the noise:signal ratio in the field
this could also break conferences by flooding them with papers to review and decreasing the average quality of the reviewer pool
ideally this would happen before we get good AI tools for reviewing papers
