Developer WeiruiYe scraped all 38,101 ICLR 2027 submissions and counted names before the colon, revealing a severe LLM-driven naming homogenization: TRACE appears 47 times, PRISM 42, PACE 22, SCOPE 21. Some 750 names are shared by 2+ papers, covering 2,209 papers. Highlights: two TRACEs both fix VLM hallucination by different authors; four PRISMs all do time series; one PACE paper has no matching acronym letters. Reposter zetalyrae also cited a related study, "Homogenization Effects of LLMs on Human Creative Ideation," showing ChatGPT users produce individually diverse but collectively more homogeneous ideas in brainstorming.
