The difference between your example and AI-generated content is that people don't pretend they produced their own paper while people do that all the time with AI-generated content.
There's something here: it feels icky when someone gets a chat response and thoughtlessly tries to pass it off as their own.
But why? I generally don't subscribe to the labor theory of value. I don't need people to spend five hours writing a post - if it's interesting I should be happy.
There is this other thing: we don't like things saying they are true stories when they aren't. Like that guy who wrote a memoir and it was very popular until everyone discovered he just made it all up.
Apparently we have different standards for reality and fiction. Maybe it has nothing to do with how much work goes into a thing, but whether or not it actually is what it purports to be.
Nobody likes to see an athlete win all the medals because they were on a performance enhancing cocktail train, even though our bodies probably wouldn't be able to achieve anything special on the same cocktail (and we wouldn't very much like the side effects).

Yes, it's just about deception for me.
Maybe someday we will simply expect that everything is generated by AI, so it’s no longer deceiving to not label it as such, but I suspect that will be a sad day.
