AI Reviewers Catch Flaws But Can They Catch Slop? A Debate Erupts
usmananwar391 · x · 2026-09-24
@usmananwar391 asks whether anyone has gotten an accept or minor revisions from a non-Gemini AI reviewer, arguing LLM reviewers are so strict — flagging flaws even in his months-long efforts — that the 'AI slop flooding journals' panic seems overblown. @ipeirotis pushes back hard: LLMs heavily favor their own writing, so slop can be trivially optimized to pass LLM review.
