I don’t understand. If your work can be done quickly and well with a tool (AI), why don’t you use that tool and be done with your work quickly? Why does your heart break?

I’m in Neuroscience. My favorite way to keep up is rss feeds of the 5 best journals (100-200 titles per week), rss feeds to the relevant pubmed search terms (20-50 titles per week) an google scholar email alerts to some of the most relevant researchers in my field, auto forwarding to kill the newsletter, and read through rss (50-100 titles per week, lots of duplicates). So every day I aim to open the rss reader and burn down the unread count. Papers that are really relevant to my research tend to show up 4-5 times over 2 weeks this way, so it’s hard to miss it. Which journals: you know that if you have been in the field for a while, if not, ask your colleagues and mentors where they publish and what they read.
Bad papers sliding through the cracks: it happens, you don’t know unless you read it.
