This question is for everyone who has published at NeurIPS/ICML/ICLR/CVPR/AAAI/ACL/etc. with empirical results/experiments. Have you personally published something that, in your own opinion, "doesn't actually work," but the experiments paint the picture that it does?

Beyond LLMs: Pursuing Diverse AI Research Areas Over Hype
By
–
Maybe I'm taking the bait, but I find this advice misguided and kind of rude. There are many interesting & worthwhile research areas beyond LLMs. I hope people continue to lead and push forward in other areas, rather than being a follower in the area with the most money and hype
