Asking authors about their own papers

    IMHO (not a paper writer, but read a lot during my grad school years), the Genie is out of the bottle. The only way forward, as I see it, is using LLMs for reviews also. Basically, filter all submitted papers with an LLM and ask it to summarize it, find the biggest weaknesses and main strong points, etc. that a human can then use to review the paper. Basically, LLM-as-a-reviewer .

    Personally, I would love to see a conference where people are explicitly encouraged to use LLMs for doing the work and writing the papers, and LLMs are used to review them too.

      I think that’s a lot of risk of anchoring reviewer bias. I’d be more comfortable with a triaged review where the editor’s office uses models to score whether a human editor should evaluate a paper to potentially send out for review, then the editor makes their own assessment, and the reviewers continue to do their job unassisted
