The author says an editor rejected the paper based on an AI review, and the giveaway was the markdown formatting, em dash usage, odd wording, illogical comments, and even a reference to the wrong journal. They have emailed the editor to appeal.

A reply joked that the review should at least have come from a better model, guessing “Gemini flash” from the low-effort style.
