I’m reasonably sure this person is either lying or at least misrepresenting their success. I did some vibe-coded searching through DBLP and there are very few people who have published in all of those conferences without a publication prior to ‘23 (an arbitrary cutoff to rule out big name researchers with labs), let alone with only 2 authors. ICLR only just closed entries, but I included 2025.

But people are clearly attempting to do this, and some are going to get successful. Putting your paper into ChatGPT prior to submission to get free feedback is really table stakes these days, and you can be sure reviewers are breaking the rules by using LLMs.

Not really, with a slow transition you will just have people in power clutching on to their careers, tenure and more general gatekeeping with whatever means they have. You can already see this starting with the paper count limitation that is 1 for new scientists and 20 for established scientists for ICLR 2027.

I have in fact set up similar autosubmission systems for my peers who wanted it and they are already finding success with it 2 months later.
