I've had a similar complaint about publishing in machine learning conferences. They're putting in these "no LLM" rules but those are just idiotic. Proving LLM usage is really really difficult, but (one of) the underlying problem has always been bad reviews, or low quality reviews. So why write a LLM rule? Why not tackle the problem more directly?

I don't care if people use LLMs, I care about generating slop. The two correlate, but by concentrating on the LLM part you just let the problem continue. It's extremely frustrating. Slop is slop. Doesn't matter how it is generated or by who. Slop is slop. Doesn't matter if you dress it up and put lipstick on a pig. Slop is slop.
