They are constantly changing, but one could probably get pretty far focusing on ChatGPT (which is what most "lazy" authors use).

And there are already efforts in this domain from the community, see the "slop" profiles in EQ bench:

Traditional LLMs would be better suited (ironically) for fact checking, eg they check for citations, then go to follow the links and see if it matches the text. They're also much better at "checking" for sanity than actually writing it out. An obviously this would just be a first pass for a person to quickly confirm.
