ipeirotis · x · 2026-09-24
- NYU professor ipeirotis asks whether anyone has run a paper through a non-Gemini AI reviewer and gotten "accept" or even "minor revisions."
- He is skeptical of the panic about AI slop flooding journals: AI reviewers find plenty of flaws even in papers people spent months on, including his own — so fully auto-generated papers are unlikely to sail through.
- The post raises a broader question about how strictly AI reviewers actually screen submissions and how peer review is changing.
