Adding "invisible" text in a paper seems clearly fraudulent. I don't buy the argument that it is just to catch reviewers using AI, not when the text tells the AI to give positive reviews. In my opinion we should invoke the usual procedures for academic fraud, the same if the author had fabricated data or bribed reviewers. At least make public the redaction of the paper and hope their career ends there

I don't think it's fraudulent on the level of falsifying data. It's the kind of fraud that only works if the rest of the system it operates in is run by frauds.

A sternly-worded letter and a promise to apply academic consequences to frauds having AI do their job for them seems to be all that's necessary to me.
