Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words.
But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

New measure of academic impact just dropped: number of citations received to papers that chatgpt created and fraudulently attributed to you.
These are all the 42 papers Google Scholar has found citing "our" paper that we never wrote - who knows how much actual human touch went into them? scholar.google.com.vn/scholar?star...
