Translating is the process of rewriting the paper in another language. The paper has been written (in English) by an LLM.

That’s not the same as just letting an LLM to halucinate a whole article from nothing - which it sounds like when you say it was written by AI. LLMs are not a bad tool for translations, they have to be checked well though. Working with a language is the one thing they can actually do - unlike giving real answers.
