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.

      Yes. I want reproducability, open-sourcing, accessibility, correctness, and most of all: usefulness. I don't care how it was written or reviewed, as long as some assurances regarding above things can be made, and I don't see why LLMs would get in the way of that.

      What can't be gotten rid of fast enough is the notion that having written something is meaningful on its own. Making something that looks right was a level above total novice: now it's the floor.
