ArXiv is going to ban researchers for a year if they are caught submitting AI slop. ArXiv told us it's a one strike rule: do it once, you're out.

@josephcox Isn't this a suspension rather than ban? There should be harsher measures if caught doing it again, like double the suspension each infraction.
@josephcox Interesting. I suspect that many fake AI papers would pass under the radar given their criteria being a very high bar, but that's certainly better than ignoring the issue.
@josephcox I'm building tooling to help with these problems. Essentially empowering peer review when AI assistance is allowed but within constraints...
@josephcox 404media has paywalls. Here's the cited thread, without Xitter's login requirements either:

Interestingly, the core is "If a submission contains incontrovertible evidence that the authors did not check the results of LLM generation," then the authors get booted. Subtler slop will slip through.

@josephcox the next step would be an article sighting ai articles
I already do this unofficially.
One strike, paper rejection and if I can find your Chair I'll mail them a printed copy with any hallucinations circled in red. Don't shit up my literature you AI zombie assholes.
@josephcox PLEASE. 10% odds if I click on something in the daily feed it's 135 pages long with no substance and badly broken tikiz
@josephcox Good on them!
