Paper proposes 1500-word briefs plus machine-verifiable appendices to fix AI-era peer review
WalterReade · x · 2026-11-14
An arXiv paper by Vassilis Kostakos, "Ignore the Writing," argues generative AI broke the link between polished manuscripts and good research: submissions now outgrow reviewer capacity, heading toward a loop where AI writes and reviews papers. The fix: submissions become a 1500-word brief plus an unlimited machine-verifiable appendix, with humans judging worthwhileness while models verify the experimental record — human reviewing effort becomes the reward function. Well received on Retraction Watch's share.
