21% fully AI generated. In other words, 21% blatant fraud.

In accident investigation we often refer to "holes in the swiss cheese lining up." Dereliction of duty is commonly one of the holes that lines up with all the others, and is apparently rampant in this field.

Why? I often feed an entire document I hastily wrote into an AI and prompt it to restructure and rewrite it. I think that’s a common pattern.

Who cares what tool was used to write the work? The important question is what percentage of reviews found errors or provided valuable feedback. The important metric is whether or not it did the job, not how it was produced.

I think there is a far more interesting discussion to be had here about how useful the 21% percent were. How well does an AI execute a peer review?
