ML researchers debate AI-written papers: correct proofs, unreadable prose
kfountou · x · 2026-09-13
Csaba Szepesvari complains AI-assisted academic writing is nearly unreadable and says he's sitting on cool results rather than littering the world with crappy papers. kfountou responds that ML conferences reward what is proved, not how — with proofs relegated to appendices — so poorly written appendices are inevitable; he prioritizes verifying correctness first, since a correct translation of a proof means a correct result.
