As reported in Nature of 28 May, arXiv is now enforcing a ban of researchers (who hardly qualify as “authors”!) submitting articles produced by LLMs with demonstrably insufficient human input, e.g. those with hallucinated (fake) references—easy to detect. The ban is one-year long and, besides, subsequent submissions must first be accepted by a genuine academic journal. Be warned!
