Is ACL now irrelevant? [D]

Mirrored from r/MachineLearning for archival readability. Support the source by reading on the original site.

I just read in a comment of another Post that an ACL paper is considered a weak signal in the community apparently, and having an ACL first author paper is not a great plus for improving chances at finding a PhD position. Is this some kind of ragebait or is academia becoming more and more insane on a daily basis??

ACL is an A+ venue. Sure, it's not as big as Nips, ICML, ICLR or CVPR, fair point, but it's not some regional B conference...

I know a lot of folks in "classical" CS have an issue with AI venues, as they are receiving more focus in recent years than ICSE or FSE, and hence all AI papers must be bad and very unscientific.
