    iwriting reviews is time consuming, unpaid, and doesn’t help the reviewers career. so it takes a while because reviewers are already busy and don’t prioritize writing reviews too much.

    quality of the reviews is questionable. 10% of the reviews are through and provide valuable feedback. the remaining 90% are cursory “yeah this is interesting, publish it” or “not interesting/outside scope”.

    very very few reviews find and report scientific errors

      Hell, the fact that any articles have been published with the openAI “I can’t provide up-to-date info” means that shit’s not getting read properly, overall.
