NeurIPS Reviewer Rants: Fully LLM-Generated Paper and Rebuttals
gateofptolemy · reddit · 2026-07-28
A NeurIPS 2026 reviewer took to Reddit to vent about encountering a paper and its subsequent rebuttals that appear to be entirely generated by an LLM, noting the unmistakable 'Claude-speak.' Although the authors disclosed AI writing assistance, the reviewer found the boilerplate text difficult to parse and indicative of a lack of effort.
While striving to judge the work objectively, the reviewer admitted feeling disincentivized to engage deeply with fully AI-generated arguments and sought advice from the community on handling such 'slopped' papers.
