arXiv will no longer accept review articles and position papers unless they have been accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review.
This is due to being overwhelmed by a hundreds of AI generated papers a month.
Yet another open submission process killed by LLMs.

What a pain.
I fully agree with the objective of suppressing AI generated slop, but the mechanism of insisting on peer review seems entirely contrary to the point of arXiv being a *preprint* service.
Plus, there is value in the diversity of content in preprints, which gets reduced by standard formats and typical publication venues. Peer review isn't necessarily good at promoting ideas outside the bandwagon-du-jour.
In the same way that a license is needed to drive a car or own a gun, I can see the utility of a license for using any product labelled as "AI". With a lecture course and exams, like learning to drive a car.
