To be fair, here in Japan I run into quite a lot of academics who can just barely read English papers in their field. Writing their own is simply beyond them.
Big name faculty and wealthy institutes often have a translation or editing desk that will help you. But many grad students and postdocs, especially at budget constrained places, have no recourse.
For all their faults, LLMs do produce better copy than google translate, or asking your sisters friend's foreign boyfriend.
