So you can’t interact with an LLM, or use any product that has LLM features when performing the research?

That is not what I said at all. For research whose ostensible purpose is to increase human understanding, the absolutely bare minimum we could ask for is for the authors to understand their own work well enough to write their research paper themselves, without having an LLM crank it out. I'm not saying anything about LLMs at other points during the research. Unless I'm missing something, the TMLR policy does not forbid using LLMs to generate entire research papers. It only says the authors are "responsible for the content" and warns against "low-quality contributions."

  • That’s a reasonable position to hold. The way it was stated earlier would have included the content of the paper (the research) not just the words in the paper.
