Big Lab Researcher: Peers Read Almost Zero Papers, Top Conferences Full of Fraud

AI researcher Keller Jordan tweeted that most big lab people now read almost zero papers and understand top conferences like ICLR, ICML, and NeurIPS to be mainly full of overclaims and fraud (with a few diamonds in the rough).
Another user retweeted and sarcastically commented, "But their agent reads it," implying that researchers increasingly rely on AI agents to screen and read papers.
