The biggest problem here isn't actually that the LLM used stolen writing (that's bad, but...) LLMs have the biases of the training data, so using it for vetting panelist applications means that it's very likely that panels are going to be whiter, maler, and straighter than they might be otherwise.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Sixty-some years ago, Eisenhower transformed higher education because he viewed a science education gap as the single greatest threat to national security.
This is absolutely an act of sabotage.
