Folks, the use of AI to write reviews is a clear violation of peer review ethics + it endangers the authors' intellectual property rights. Don't do it.

AUTHORS Have you received e mail from a 'claims hero team' regarding the Anthropic settlement - or asking info or links for other class action, THEY ARE NOT LEGITIMATE!

@victoriastrauss.com Writer Beware: I checked with the real team at Anthropic for the settlement. They may contact you confirming.

Hey fellow scientists, I'm just letting you know that if you're promoting something with some junky AI image, I'm not gonna click. You've got a workshop, a conference, a new paper?

Just not gonna bother. You want a bespoke image? Hire an illustrator.
