Reviewers need to document AI usage with their reviews, what are you actually writing? I am not very sure whether it’s better to say that you used it or not

I am now reviewing a bunch of papers for AAAI 2027 and it has surprised me the low amount of submissions with no code implementation. I don’t know if it has been only in my batch or it is common, but I was expecting very detailed appendices + code submission since AAAI is very explicit with the topic of reproducibility. I was planning to take this into consideration when assigning my initial scores, but I would like to hear your opinions. I have always submitted my code: it gives a very good impression and after reviewing process finishes we just publish it on ArXiv, so no one “tries to stole the idea” (although I think that this is very very unlikely). So I cannot find any excuse for those submissions that do not have code implementation, specially in today’s times where AI assistants can just write an empirical paper with artificial results within a couple of hours
