How peer review became so easy to exploit by AI

> The fact we call people who write instructions to an AI prompt, prompt engineers is ridiculous!! It’s an insult to all the engineers out there who worked on their craft.

Yolo != engineering. I feel the same way about "software engineering" in general, because changing code until it compiles and your narrow unit tests work isn't engineering.

> Articles like this make me very bearish on AI. What is intelligent a telling a LLM to embellish and lie when it comes to scientific research! The whole goal of this approach is to search for truth.

I don't think the papermill has been about "finding truth" so much as we'd all want it to be. The pressure to publish deteriorates the quality of the research.
