AAAI Rebuttals Turn Brusque: Bare Data Dumps Replace Courteous Responses This Year
Warm_Ad4302 · reddit · 2026-11-05
A Reddit post notes a sharp shift in AAAI rebuttal style this year: multiple responses skip all courtesy ("thank you for...") and reasoning, instead dumping terse weakness lists plus one-line results like "new ablations, 10 tasks, 8 better, 5 seeds" with no discussion.
The author saw none of this last year but found several in one conference this time, recalling PhD-era norms that respectful, readable rebuttals earn reviewer goodwill in return. The post sparked discussion about academic rebuttal culture and whether AI-generated replies are behind it.
