That’s a missed opportunity for AI to announce that it wouldn’t accept any paper that had itself as an author.
This is what happened when AI acted as both author and reviewer - a study found AI peer-reviewers accepted fake AI-generated papers 4 out of 5 times. We need #PeerReview to be better, and human oversight is more vital than ever!
