To be honest all places are quite awful right now, for different reasons.

This is remarkable and obviously fantastic science. I have always wondered though, wouldn't the transplanted organ just start expressing the blood group antigens eventually in the recipient? And therefore making this a temporary solution rather than a permanent one.

5. Abrupt end of the review as the AI probably ran out of tokens.

4. Slowly over the course of the review, AI starts to want to rewrite your entire manuscript for you "I moved the statistical significance sentence up because it is a natural follow-up of the sentence …" The current state of AI, it likes to generate text not to be critical of it.

Example:
"-line XX: … Whats does it mean to study well? Properly? Using right methods? Comprehensively, covering a wide range of possible candidates?"
"-line XX: … Whats does it mean to study well? Properly? Using right methods? Comprehensively, covering a wide range of possible candidates?"

For context, several of the authors on that paper were native English speakers and all of them had proof-read the paper. But AI used this as an excuse to improve the language, even where it wasn't needed. 40% of the review was just this.

3. AI assumes you are a non-native English speaker even if you are. It will try to rephrase everything you say just to make it sound better. In my colleagues review it stated "…. (obviously not proof-read by a native speaker) …"

Another example it cites Wikipedia "Elution - Wikipedia Please be aware of the difference between an eluate and an eluent" or other web-based resources often instead of actual journal articles. This is because LLMs have access to web-based resources for training but not as much pay-walled articles.

2. AI cites very strange evidences for their statements. In my colleagues review they stated the following "As I checked in Scopus, the authors have an expertise on the biology and biochemistry of … , so I expected to read a sound work."

Another example from the review "I have checked the Supplemental table in excel and I saw XXXXX and XXXXX in rows XX and XX, respectively." Newer reasoning models like to “show their work” and hence blurt out such text.
