It sure is! But ironically, because of the intention behind the obfuscation. Not the fact that AI was used in a research paper.
I have no issues with AI use in science. If claude can explain my research better than me, then have at it. But I do NOT want to read a passage thinking it was written by a human when it wasn't. Science has no idea yet how such disclosures should work yet. What should be done by humans as a matter of principle, and what can't be or should not be done by humans.
Some authors may even choose to leave syntactical errors as a tell for those self-authored passages; long-term, some interesting language drifts may come of it.
