If you or someone else is looking for a forum experience focused on discussing papers, try out https://paperlist.io/ https://paperlist.io/ - the creator of it posted paperlist here a while back and it's funny how I'll just catch myself browsing papers during breaks.
FWIW, It's got low levels of engagement comment-wise, but the site is only a few months old and papers are posted often
disclaimer: I don't know anybody involved with paperlist and am not involved with any aspect of paperlist other than reading and posting papers. I just like it.
- giraj 4y agoAs a researcher, this sounded interesting so I had a look. The first paper that caught my eye (https://paperlist.io/post/247381561 https://paperlist.io/post/247381561) has a bunch of "generic" (lacking substance; could be generated) comments that I find a bit uncanny. Three of them have the same style of being all lower-case (even the name of R, the programming language being discussed). Doesn't make me want to engage. ... and now I also noticed that the paper summaries are AI-generated! That's an anti-feature for me, at present.
- Groxx 4y agoYeah, after reading a few dozen comments on some papers I completely agree... the lack of substance is so clear and consistent it's highly suspicious. The concept is interesting enough, but uh. If they're filling it with bot comments to make it look less empty to passers-by, they're optimizing for catching people not paying attention, while apparently targeting people interested in deep attention (who will immediately turn away from this).
