#aiXiv is a new #preprint repository accepting works generated entirely by #AI.
https://aixiv.science/

It also accepts works by humans and works co-authored by humans and #AI in any ratio. It subjects new submissions to preliminary review done entirely by AI.

Celina Zhao has a good article about it in Science.
https://www.science.org/content/article/new-preprint-server-welcomes-papers-written-and-reviewed-ai

"Says Guowei Huang, one of aiXiv’s creators, 'We should only care about quality—not who produced it.' … [Other preprint] servers, like most conferences and journals, still bar naming AI systems as authors —a stance that inadvertently pushes researchers to use AI without saying so. Huang calls that lack of transparency 'totally unacceptable.'”

@petersuber I'm confused. Wasn't it arXiv that said a few weeks ago that it wouldn't accept surveys or position papers because they were receiving tons of papers, probably generated by AI, and they didn't want them? What happened? 🤔

Update.

This is a little like the #EnhancedGames -- athletic events in which competitors are allowed to take any performance-enhancing drugs they like
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Games

… but without big money from Peter Thiel

… and without the sale of testosterone supplements on the side.

… and without the direct health risks to humans, tho there will still be indirect health risks e.g. when AI preprints hallucinate medical advice.

@petersuber Not really like that. Because there is a solid evidence that performance-enhancing drugs really do enhance performance; but none that AI does.
