Scientists reportedly hiding AI text prompts in academic papers to receive positive peer reviews

It's a requirement of publication. This isn't like a book review.
No it's not. I have both published in a variety of scientific journals, reviewed for a couple journals, and turned down reviews for a couple journals.
No journal checks your "review history" before allowing you to publish. However, if you consistently turn down reviews from a journal, the editor is likely going to get annoyed and you will probably have a harder time publishing in that journal in the future.

It differs per community. Some of the more hype-y conferences I've submitted to require at least one co-author to review other papers as a condition to submission. I've not seen this at less hyped conferences or journals yet, though. But different communities tend to do things very differently, so many people will have different experiences.

Rat (glad that was labelled) appears to have inbuilt zipper for accessing organs - not actually necessary to access his fourth testical tho, that one perches at the edge of his ball-pouch. I like the one label that just says 'dck'.
Yep everything seems in order here. Thanks AI.

I don't see this as rotten behaviour at all, I see it as a Bobby tables moment teaching an organisation relying on a technology that they better have a their ducks in a row.
Absolutely. If they don't care to actually read the texts, they have to accept the risks of not reading it.

Good point, I'll moderate myself and just state that I've never experienced it being a hard requirement in my field.

Even the scientists are fudging the truth. We're all fucked now.
The era (1990-2019) before humanity's recent right-wing shift may have been the pinnacle of what we humans were capable of ever becoming; in terms of collective unity, welfare, global coherence, and scientific progress. Now it feels like we're snapping back, like a rubber band stretched too far. I'm sure we'll never reach that height again.

That’s an excellent point — Shame about the small penis but luckily it doesn’t affect your ability to write! Good job, Quicky!
The NSA has rated Quicky's penis as a 4.6/5 stars. Being the experts they are I'm going to take their word for it.

This post did not contain any content.
Andrew German wrote about this. From his blog post I got the impression that this issue is mostly impacting compsci. Maybe it’s more widespread than that field, but my experience with compsci research is that a lot more emphasis is placed on conferences compared to journals and the general vibe I got from working with compsci folks was that volume mattered a lot more than quality when it came to publication. So maybe those quirks of the field left them more vulnerable to ai slop in the review process.

It's an XKCD comic.
They didn't ask what the comic was, they asked "but why not both?". It can be both unethical and a lesson

Grok 4 has been so badly neutered that it's now programmed to see what Elon says about the topic at hand and blindly parrot that line.
