PhD Student's PRL Paper Gets Both Reviews That Look Like 'Claudeslop'

A physics PhD student reported that after a senior labmate spent over two years on fundamental research of noble-metal support interactions at high temperatures, both peer reviews back from Physical Review Letters appeared to be 'Claudeslop' — AI-generated slop.
A responder added that he reviews for open-access journals roughly biweekly, spends excessive time on proper reviews, and only ever gets default template appreciation emails from editors. The thread fuels concerns about AI slop eroding peer review and the lack of incentives for quality reviewing.
