Just to be clear, these are hidden prompts put in papers by authors meant to be triggered only if a reviewer (unethically) uses AI to generate their review. I guess this is wrong, but I find it hard not to have some sympathy for the authors. Mostly, it seems like an indictment of the whole peer-review system.

I have a very simple maxim, which is: If I want something generated, I will generate it myself. Another human who generates stuff is not bringing value to the transaction.

I wouldn't submit something to "peer review" if I knew it would result in a generated response and peer reviewers who are being duplicitous about it deserve to be hoodwinked.
