@TuhinChakr @_TobiasLee @mar_kar_ lol seriously. @_TobiasLee, your “fun” tool blunts a key learning mechanism for students, wastes reviewers time, and adds to the gamification of peer review / breakdown of the system. All for a few retweets. All AI in peer review should be banned
11:08 AM · Jul 14, 2026@TuhinChakr @mar_kar_ did u even take a look of the content? basically it helps authors identify common concerns, experiment priority suggestions and help draft a rebuttal to better clarify misunderstanding.
10:33 AM · Jul 14, 2026@TuhinChakr "hey Claude, spawn 10 agents to look into this review" instead of a skill.md a blog would have been better from their side.
10:18 AM · Jul 14, 2026@_TobiasLee @TuhinChakr part of phd is to learn to think for yourself, the first step should always be this, think/judge/form a response
11:21 AM · Jul 14, 2026@_TobiasLee @mar_kar_ I don't need to. Neither should anyone getting a PhD
10:44 AM · Jul 14, 2026A paper I am an AC on submitted 4 rebuttals in less than 10 mins from when the reviews came out. Students I am begging you. Please don’t do this. No body needs a skill.md to argue for a paper you wrote ( unless you delegated that to AI as well)
9:32 AM · Jul 14, 2026@TuhinChakr Reviews were briefly made public, then became private, and then released again later in the day. One of my students had already copied the reviews and we were working on a response before the reviews were "released". Maybe something like that happened? I would judge the content.

3:35 PM · Jul 14, 2026@TuhinChakr tbh most people I know co-work on rebuttals with their collaborators for a few hours/days, and then post all (first batch of) replies when they're happy with them
2:06 PM · Jul 14, 2026@TuhinChakr maybe they just iterate on them in google docs and then submit them all together? (I still do that)
