Researchers argue AI artifacts are worsening academia’s accountability problem

A repost of a comment by Yoshitomo CS argues that AI-generated artifacts are amplifying an old problem in research culture: people chase the “good points” while ignoring accountability. - The post says acceptance at top venues becomes the visible reward, while responsibility for what is submitted, reviewed, and consumed is often neglected. - The quoted reply proposes a radical norm: if you want others to review your work, it should first be publicly and permanently posted with your name attached. - The discussion is less about a new technical method and more about how AI changes incentives, credit, and accountability in academia.
