Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

In one of the papers I'm currently working on (not in Nature), I strongly suspect one of the reviewers used an LLM to write their review. Seems like they wrote 20ish comments suggesting minor grammar changes with only a handful of comments that actually address the content of the paper.

Answering comments/suggestions made by a chatbot rather than a subject expert is a waste of everyone's time and likely won't do what actual peer review is intended to do: set a quality standard and filter for the journal.
