Open submission simply can not work if the junk to readable ratio is too high. Particularly when the junk uses proper grammar and spelling and makes some sort of sense on the paragraph level.

The graph included in
the Neil Clarke blog post is an eye-opener. Some people said the A.I. submissions could be considered a denial of service attack because of the sheer number of submissions.
And of course, this takes away from the time they can spend on submissions from human writers. Clarkesworld is renowned for how efficiently they handle their submissions. Where other magazines can take weeks, Clarkesworld has been known to send a rejection (even a personalized one) in a day or two.
