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

@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 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.

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

@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?
