I flagged two research papers for fake authors and both were accepted as orals | Hacker News

A Hacker News thread says two papers with fake authors were reportedly accepted as oral presentations, intensifying concerns about academic quality control.

Commenters argued that AI is speeding up low-quality paper production and making it harder for reviewers to catch fraud or weak work.

The discussion also raised calls to pay reviewers and strengthen verification, reputation, and citation checks in conferences like NeurIPS and EMNLP.

Overall, the debate reflects growing fears that AI-assisted writing and reviewing are eroding trust in academic publishing.
