Can conference review infrastructure keep up with the increasing volume of NON-SLOP research due to agentic tools? [D] A discussion post questions whether conference peer-review infrastructure can handle the rising volume of legitimate research produced faster by agentic AI tools, distinguishing this productivity acceleration from low-quality "slop" research. The post cites examples such as iterating on ideas that previously required multiple days of tedious coding now being completed in a few hours, and quick refactoring of LaTeX documents.
