Could it be some sort of meta joke where the reviewer is mocking how the paper is written by imitating its bad writing style?

[-] Sphks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 56 points 2 years ago

I bet it's a form with multiple entries, each entry is not different enough of the other ones:

How is the subject of this paper ?
What about the style ?
You checked to reject it, why should it be rejected ?
What's the overall comment ?

Then it's all concatenated into one blob of review.

Not to mention it is poorly written.

[-] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 38 points 2 years ago

.. not forgetting that it's poorly laid out.

Lads doing science to get laid, I think.

It's like they were trying to do a compliment sandwich but the best compliment they come up with is "poorly written."

Bun: it's poorly written

Middle: you are bad at this

Bun: it's poorly written and poorly motivated and wrong

As a large language model, I find this paper to be poorly written.

[-] Rolando@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

Funny thing: it took me a while to figure out why this was noteworthy. I think that my brain must have a pre-processor for reading language written by someone for whom English is a second language, which automatically kicked in.

For better or for worse, these days the writer of this review would just put it through a GPT before sending it.

Could it be sarcastic that the review is also poorly written?

Reads like GPT, but maybe the redundant messages mirror the paper. Wonder if there is more context or it's just a meme...

... Follow shitmyrevieweressay XD

It looks likee the writer of the response already put it through GPT. GPT 2 to be precise. :D

[-] Trafficone@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 years ago

The dang old ESL filter makes it impossible to recognize bad English out in public. My wife got a shit that reads "force of the nature" and neither of our brains perceived the "the"
