"Lots of people in CS are (almost surely) GPT-ing their peer reviews"

I doubt this response will ever become dominant, in part because the tool is already really useful despite its limitations.

I'm not sure how it's going to shake out, given the tools are not likely to be static.

What if people used a disclaimer to actively signal, ChatGPT was used for the English here, at the top/bottom of emails/whatever when it was used. would it be as much of a problem for you then?

I know some professors definitely can be exploitative, but learning how to do peer review well is a critical skill that can really only be developed by doing it - with good mentoring.

I will gladly utilize AI to feed these corporate drones.

Most people can't even be bothered to read a function they copy off StackOverflow to understand what it does, it's not a stretch to believe they aren't going to bother reading a whole paper.

>Not exactly the same, but instead of my co-workers just pasting “LGTM” on everything, I’d probably prefer an LLM review.

You could do your own LLM review before sending it to your co-workers, if you'd like that kind of review. It may catch basic syntax stuff or suggest ways to write something differently, but it won't catch bigger issues of logic or "is this a good idea". I'll admit to a lot of LGTM reviews going around in my team, but last week I saw someone make something extreme dangerous and the review stopped it from rolling out to prod. I am almost 100% certain an LLM would have said LGTM, as it was written fine and did exactly what it said it would do... it was just a horrible idea to do that thing.

Same reason as all the other tools when they were new: we're still all figuring out the best practices, the limitations, and the strengths.

Also: If all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail — Outside my speciality, ChatGPT is my hammer; inside my speciality, I can see all the LLM's flaws while also having good working knowledge of many other tools.

How bad is the latency in your actual brain that this is a regular option for you?

"I use calculators in all my calculations now, and I'm really transparent about it. For $20, I now have a pocket calculator, and can at any time whip it out and calculate a long, difficult problem - and get a correct calculation based on my inputs just a few seconds later. Is there a single reason not to use it?"

Are the concerns in the other replies consistent with their own outsourcing of willpower & mental effort to technology?

This would also surely create an LLM black market. One kid in school sets up his own LLM and then charges kids for access to write their papers with a system that won't log to the central DB.
