First review round: 34.4 weeks. Overall rating: 0 (very bad).
Outcome: Accepted.
Motivation:
Although the eventual result was acceptance of my article, I feel the review process was unprofessional and unethical. After a very lengthy first-round review, after prodding the editorial contact, I eventually received a single review that was clearly AI-generated. (Not only did it feel AI-generated but an AI detector strongly confirmed my suspicions.) Although the points were quite sensible, I consider it unethical to give confidential manuscripts to generative AI, especially without declaring to the authors that this was done. This cannot genuinely be called "peer" review.
