  Exactly. This will not have an effect on a regular reviewer who plays by the rules. But if they try to let an LLM do their reviewing job, it is fair to prevent negative consequences for your paper in this way.

  which means it’s imperative that everyone does this going forward.

    you can do that if you do not have integrity. but i can kinda get their perspective - you want people to cite you, or read your papers, so you can be better funded. The system is almost set to be gamed

      almost? we’re in the middle of a decades long ongoing scandal centered on gaming the system.

      I’m not in academia, but I’ve seen my coworkers’ hard work get crunched into a slop machine by higher ups who think it’s a good cleanup filter.

      LLMs are legitimately amazing technology for like six specific use cases but I’m genuinely worried that my own hard work can be defaced that way. Or worse, that someone else in the chain of custody of my work (let’s say, the person advising me who would be reviewing my paper in an academic context) decided to do the same, and suddenly this is attached to my name permanently.

      Absurd, terrifying, genuinely upsetting misuse of technology. I’ve been joking about moving to the woods much more frequently every month for the past two years.

        sadly, that is the case.

        The only useful application for me currently is some amount of translation work, or using it to check my grammar or check if I am appropriately coming across (formal, or informal)

  hypothetically, how would one accomplish this for testing purposes.

    Put the LLM instructions in the header or footer section, and set the text color to match the background.

      The truly diabolical way is to add an image to your resume somewhere. Something discrete that fits the theme, like your signature or a QR code to your website. Then hide the white text behind that. Even a human reader won’t see it when they highlight the document, because the highlighted text will be behind the image.

  maybe it’s to get through llm pre-screening and allow the paper to be seen by human eyeballs

  • sga@lemmings.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    that could be the case. but what I have seen my younger peers do is use these llms to “read” the papers, and only use it’s summaries as the source. In that case, it is definitely not good.

      in one of these preprints there were traces of prompt used for writing paper itself too
