Arxiv Ban News
A lot of us have seen the news about arXiv banning authors for 1+ years over hallucinations and other obvious AI slop in preprints.
To me, as a PhD student in CS, this seems like a great thing… an additional skim through of one’s own work to look for these should suffice. After all, no one is banning the use of LLMs. They’re only banning the unaudited use of LLMs.
It also seems like junior students/faculty are the ones to benefit a lot as it won’t “bury” their work under piles of AI generated slop.
In the field of CS, top tier venues like ICLR, NeurIPS, ICML, EMNLP, etc. have a shit ton of submissions.
However, I was hoping to gain some insights from the community as to why (some) people are mad about this? I can’t seem to understand this.
