The conference papers were 1%, peer reviews 20%, is there another reason for that big difference than more of the peer reviews being AI generated than the papers themselves?

We can't use this to convict a single reviewer, but we can almost surely say that many reviewers just gave the review work to an AI.

Peer reviews are much shorter than papers. A bad review may only be six to eight sentences along the lines of "Math is confusing" and "Too little related work". 20% AI generated seems high if for no other reason than writing a bad review takes very little effort.
