Why not just reject papers authored by LLMs and ban accounts that are caught? arXiv’s management has become really questionable lately, it’s like they’re trying to become a prestigious journal and are becoming the problem they were trying to solve in the first place

Are you saying that there's an automated method for reliably verifying that something was created by an LLM?

What matters is the quality. Requiring reviews and opinions to be peer-reviewed seems a lot less superficial than rejecting LLM-assisted papers (which can be valid). This seems like a reasonable filter for papers with no first-party contributions. I'm sure they ran actual numbers as well.

It’s articles (not papers) _about_ LLMs that are the problem, not papers written _by_ LLMs (although I imagine they are not mutually exclusive). Title is ambiguous.
