X debate says AI reviews could outclass many NeurIPS reviewers by 10x to 100x

A discussion on X argues that OpenAI should build a new conference management system where AI plays a central role in reviewing papers.
- The original suggestion: replace legacy systems like OpenReview or CMT with an AI-first system.
- The reply: an AI review, when executed well, is described as far better than many NeurIPS reviews handled by area chairs.
- The speaker claims AI reviews catch more mathematical issues, missing citations, invalid novelty claims, and experimental flaws by an order of magnitude.
The exchange is essentially a strong case for rethinking peer review workflows with AI at the center.
