I feel like the correct move here is to tell the AI to mention something super obscure and specific in the referee report and then mention it to the editor in your cover letter?
The article highlights the unethical behavior of "researchers" who try to game the review system by inserting invisible instructions to any LLM used in peer review.

It's equally unethical to use AI to review papers you have chosen to referee.

Scientists hide messages in papers to game AI peer review
Some studies containing instructions in white text or small font — visible only to machines — will be withdrawn from preprint servers.

Silver lining: we have strong evidence from tariffs (and every other policy) that this administration doesn't count economics as a critical field

I decided to become a “fake man” in college when I ordered a frozen margarita at a Mexican restaurant and my friend said ‘real men don’t order frozen drinks’

Hard pass on a life without tequila slushies.
unironically: the realization that being a "fake man" was an option in my early twenties was among the most personally rewarding decisions I've ever made. highly recommend

The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity:

1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas…
2) enabled by Engineering Innovations…
3) based on Science Research in Universities…
4) funded by Grants from the US Government.

It’s time more people understood this.

The President is explicitly and specifically barred from personally taking foreign payments in our Constitution.

Shame on every single person in Congress who, with the duty to defend our Constitution, chooses to abandon us.

It’s one tariff, Michael, how much could it cost, 10%?!?
Echoes of former Commerce Sec. Wilbur Ross’s famous line about tariffs: “Who’s gonna be very bothered?”

LUTNICK: “A 10% tariff is not going to change virtually any price.” 🤡
