Researcher warns anti-AI-slop desk rejections are hurting legitimate papers

A computer science researcher argues that academia's reaction to AI slop is backfiring: as reviewers raise the bar, legitimate submissions face more unreasonable desk rejections on top of already harsh reviewing. He notes you can't reduce false positives for free—tightening screening inevitably harms genuine research, exposing a new dilemma for scholarly publishing in the AI era.
