The era (1990-2019) before humanity’s recent right-wing shift may have been the pinnacle of what we humans were capable of ever becoming; in terms of collective unity, welfare, global coherence, and scientific progress. Now it feels like we’re snapping back, like a rubber band stretched too far. I’m sure we’ll never reach that height again.
Comment on Scientists reportedly hiding AI text prompts in academic papers to receive positive peer reviews

Even the scientists are fudging the truth. We’re all fucked now.

“…the Matrix was redesigned to this: the peak of your civilization. I say your civilization, because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization, which is of course what this is all about.”

Well the ones using AI to do the reviews for them are actually at fault here

Yep. At that point, why even bother taking the review? You’re not forced to do reviews. Never taking any is likely to negatively impact your career, but still… just decline the review if you’re going to use a LLM for it anyway. Have some dignity.

It’s a requirement of publication. This isn’t like a book review.

No it’s not. I have both published in a variety of scientific journals, reviewed for a couple journals, and turned down reviews for a couple journals.
No journal checks your “review history” before allowing you to publish. However, if you consistently turn down reviews from a journal, the editor is likely going to get annoyed and you will probably have a harder time publishing in that journal in the future.
