Submitters expected peer reviewers to catch any coding errors.
@PeterHndrsn Is this with senior authors? On one end we should invite interesting ideas but on the other end if we just do this nonsense its really a nighmare.
@PeterHndrsn This is just sad.
@PeterHndrsn The system is collapsing.
Several people with no technical background told me they submitted to NeurIPS using agents for all coding—stating they didn't understand what the agent did, nor underlying code. Asked how they could trust the code/results, they said they assume reviewers will catch any errors.
On the other hand, no other academic community deserves this more than this one that brought this upon itself at every turn.
People who engage in such practices should be banned from the scientific community.
Clear scientific misconduct aside, "reviewers will catch any errors"
@thegautamkamath Can’t believe I have to write meta reviews on stuff they crapped out without even checking
@PeterHndrsn We clearly need a different reviewing system
