Key Points

The post asks how authors should respond when a reviewer provides many detailed comments but the rebuttal is constrained by a strict character limit.
The author suggests this scenario has become more common as reviewers increasingly use LLMs to process and dump large amounts of feedback.
The discussion is framed as a practical problem faced by first-time AI conference submitters, focusing on managing long reviewer feedback within platform limits.
The key challenge highlighted is how to prioritize, condense, and structure rebuttal content so that responses remain within the allowed size while still addressing the most important points.

First time submitting to an AI conference here.

How do you deal with the situation where a reviewer gives you a long list of review comments, but you only have a 2.5k character limit in your rebuttal?

I think this is very common nowadays because reviewers are dumping papers into LLMs.
