> The exception would only be those who are not native English writers, in which case the LLM might improve grammar, etc.

So, only just the vast majority of people in this world? I'm not sure I would call that "the exception".

An LLM would only be able to "polish" a non-native speaker's writing. Otherwise it is not conceivable that it could improve the essential nature of original research being communicated, this is as said original research will not be part of its training dataset.

Scientists who hope that using an LLM to help write a paper will improve the quality of their output are deluding themselves.

Are you really suggesting that all native speakers write perfectly and their writing never needs any corrections whatsoever? I consider that far from the truth for any native speaker of any language and I would of never assumed that.
