How do researchers feel about arXiv’s announcement that it will crack down on “sloppy AI-generated papers”?

arXiv said authors are responsible for errors introduced by generative AI in preprints.

Papers with clear AI-generated mistakes, such as fake citations, can trigger a one-year submission ban.

The policy is meant to improve quality control and accountability on the preprint server.

An Adelaide University scholar said the rule may be too harsh for large coauthored papers and urged AI checks plus human review instead.
