Two Papers with Fake Authors Accepted as Orals Despite Reviewer Flags

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

We reviewed 22 submissions for NeurIPS, WACV, and TerraBytes, finding that 68% contained fabricated citations or were clearly LLM-generated. Despite flagging two papers with fake authors, both were accepted for oral presentations. This experience highlights a growing crisis where AI slop floods academic venues, wasting reviewer time and undermining the integrity of peer review.
