AI summaries in search results are a huge problem for a lot of reasons, but also, hot take, perhaps we shouldn't be treating downloads of journal articles as our primary metric of usefulness.

Important to have clarity around the type of use. Is the AI responsible for intellectual contribution as well as language? One seems fine, the other requires sorting out authorship guidelines, most of which disallow AI authorship. Only the most egregious misuses are likely to be detectable.
