Nuance is one place where I think ChatGPT beats most of the humans I've interacted with. Only extremely nerdy people (which, in fairness, you'd hope be a defining trait of "people reviewing computer science papers") seem to do as well or better.
Depth, sure. ChatGPT is neat, but much to lazy for a full review — it tends to give me a handful of suggestions and then stop. I presume this is because the training set is humans on the internet and that in turn means "make 1-3 points in response to the previous commenter, then stop", not "mark this exhaustively according to a well-defined rubric, including for spelling and tone".
Now, that said, I've just re-read your two comments, and they absolutely pattern match to the kind of thing ChatGPT says. I'm curious, were either or both actually from ChatGPT, or has that style just become so prevalent that humans are mimicking it?
