The solution is relatively simple though - not sure the article suggests this as I only skimmed through:
Being good in your field doesn't only mean pushing articles but also being able to talk about them. I think academia should drift away from written form toward more spoken form, i.e. conferences.
What if, say, you can only publish something after presenting your work in person, answer questions, etc? The audience can be big or small, doesn't matter.
It would make publishing anything at all more expensive but maybe that's exactly what academia needs even irrespective of this AI craze?
