alt Hacker NewsHow is nobody considering the broader political economy of scholarly publications and reviews? These are UNPAID reviews! Sure, maybe ICML isn’t Elsevier, but they are cousins to the socially parasitic and exploitative companies, at the very least.
Hiding behind a false “choice” to not use AI or basically not use AI isn’t an appropriate proposal. This is crooked and shameful. We should boycott ICML except we can’t because they are already the gatekeepers!
What? Why is that a false choice? The only way you got caught here is if you literally gave an LLM the PDF and used its response verbatim.
And they didn't give a permanent ban or anything, these authors can just resubmit to another conference, of which there are many.
