Punish slop peddlers.<\/div><p>AI-generated slop has shown up everywhere, including in the peer-reviewed literature. Fake citations, unedited prompt responses, and <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/science\/2024\/02\/scientists-aghast-at-bizarre-ai-rat-with-huge-genitals-in-peer-reviewed-article\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nonsensical diagrams<\/a> have all slipped past editors and peer reviewers, and it's not always clear if there are any consequences for the people responsible.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it appears that a number of scientific fields will be enforcing rules against AI-generated problems even before peer review or journals get involved. One of the people involved in the physics and astronomy preprint server arXiv used a social media thread to announce that any inappropriate AI-produced content submitted to the server will result in a one-year ban and a permanent requirement that future publications undergo peer review before the arXiv will host them.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas Dietterich, in addition to being an emeritus professor at Oregon State University, is heavily involved with arXiv, serving on its <a href=\"https:\/\/info.arxiv.org\/about\/people\/editorial_advisory_council.html#section-editorial-committees\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">editorial advisory council<\/a> and on its <a href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/moderators\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">moderation team<\/a>. So he's in a good position to understand the organization's policies, although we have also reached out to arXiv leadership for confirmation, but have not yet received a response.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/science\/2026\/05\/preprint-server-arxiv-will-ban-submitters-of-ai-generated-hallucinations\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read full article<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/science\/2026\/05\/preprint-server-arxiv-will-ban-submitters-of-ai-generated-hallucinations\/#comments\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Comments<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI-generated slop has shown up everywhere, including in the peer-review&#8230;<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/pappp.net\/?p=106505\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[226],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-106505","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pappp.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106505","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pappp.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pappp.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pappp.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pappp.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=106505"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pappp.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106505\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pappp.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=106505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pappp.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=106505"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pappp.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=106505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
