Doctor M. PopularArXiv announces a ban on AI content and the responses are hilarious.
> You expect us to actually read the papers we cite?!

@FediThing I think he means it. He certainly is doubling down on X https://x.com/JimDMiller/status/2055277720326529036
James Miller (@JimDMiller) on X
@tdietterich @arxiv So this means you expect every author to check every citation and make sure that every citation is real and accurate? What if it's beyond the ability of one of the authors to verify one of the citations because that citation is in a language he doesn't know or concerns technical
Jennifer Moore 😷He said further down in the thread what he thinks citations are for:
"The citations are there to help readers who want to learn more about a sub topic, quickly locate new papers. They also function as a business suit, signaling that you're a serious person."
(yikes)
and various people have replied to that saying no that is not, in fact, what they are for!
How is he a professor? 😱
DamonHD@FediThing @unchartedworlds @docpop The bar to be one is maybe not as high as it should be? (That's how I hope to sneak in as one, maybe!)
Seiðr@DamonHD @FediThing @unchartedworlds @docpop There are universities and colleges and then there are "universities" and "colleges". Have you read about "Trump university"?
QCCEクリス@DamonHD @Illuminatus @FediThing @unchartedworlds @docpop "The announcement on arxiv regarding rejection of high probability papers written with AI, has observed a new professor consistent with the characteristic anti-professor, with a local statistical significance exceeding 5-sigma."
It's similar to post-docs or even candidates for PhDs who don't see the difference between theory and hypothesis.
