ArXiv will ban researchers who upload papers full of AI slop

ArXiv is implementing one-year bans for researchers who submit papers containing unverified AI-generated content or errors.

Summary

The preprint repository ArXiv is cracking down on AI-generated content by imposing a one-year ban on authors who submit papers containing clear evidence of unverified LLM output. According to ArXiv section chair Thomas Dietterich, indicators such as hallucinated references or stray meta-comments from AI tools demonstrate that authors have not properly reviewed their submissions. In addition to the ban, repeat offenders or those flagged under this policy will be required to show that future submissions have been accepted at reputable peer-reviewed venues before they can be posted to the site.
