Researcher djhshih shares his experience: reviewers using AI 'happily comment on aspects they clearly know nothing about', with more conviction and harsher criticism — AI can make a good reviewer better but an average reviewer worse. Replying to Anshul Kundaje, he notes this mostly happens with interdisciplinary papers, where reviewers are expert in one aspect yet confidently critique the parts they don't understand.
