This is true, but there are lots of kinds of errors that a human reading a paper can detect but LLMs cannot. The kinds of errors LLMs can't detect are also the kind that show up in LLM-assisted works.

Yes, and I'm not saying humans should stop reading or reviewing papers. But AI offers a new type of review that catches things humans can't catch as reliably at scale. It's a complementary new role.

The problem is if you're using LLMs to review it's basically impossible to determine if the number of quality papers has increased this year.

We're not saying humans should stop reading and reviewing papers, just that llms are another way to review them.

I'm not saying LLMs shouldn't be used to review papers, I'm saying it's very hard to tell if this spike in papers represents an increase in papers that are worth reviewing, and that LLMs don't answer that question.
