Ethically speaking, I should be told if an LLM was used to ✌🏽peer✌🏽 review my work. I should also have the option to op out of having my work uploaded into a superficial intelligence program.
I put peer in scare quotes because computer programs are not my peers.

At major computer-science publication venues, up to 17% of the peer reviews are now written by artificial intelligence. We need guidelines before things get out of hand.
