If an AI provided this response, we would be PISSED, and rightfully so. I am not sure what is it about humans that we (research community) have become okay with such responses.

@deliprao The lack of detail and discussion is infuriating, but not changing the score is fine.

@yoavgo @deliprao Not changing the score should be the norm. Ignoring what you said leaving it just as "I agree to disagree" is annoying.

@LChoshen @deliprao i agree, but sometimes (most times) this is indeed the correct message, unless we assume all scores have high likelihood to improve in response cycle.

@yoavgo @deliprao Well, even stating you don't find A convincing and B is convincing but not an important enough point in your reasons for the score is more cooperative than just nothing.

@LChoshen @deliprao but what can you say if you read it and are not satisfied / didn't change your mind?

@deliprao It is being very common. I remember posting something like this in UAI rebuttal period.

@deliprao Standards have been cooked for a long time, honestly not surprised.

@deliprao Is there an expectation that any paper can be salvaged by rebuttal to an acceptance level and that any satisfactory response should lead to that?

@yoavgo @deliprao Of course, I also understand the behavior from the reviewer's side, I hate rebuttals (as they are?) they are endless additional work.

@yoavgo @deliprao We probably have different assumptions about the context. For me, this has become the way to wave off bothering to respond. So you wrote things and the response is, "I've read it and chose to ignore". Which means I am stuck thinking the same thing, I cannot improve anything.
