Ryota Kanai(@kanair):I feel Independent Researchers have recently received very bad reputation. Editors of a journal probably know what I mean. So many low quality LLM-generated papers are now submitted by independent researchers. I used to believe that research should be judged entirely based on its content. But the sheer volume of low-quality papers being mass-produced has seriously damaged the reputation of Independent Researcher.
