@dalias There's a difference between "papers they haven't actually read and confirmed the validity of" and "they checked each and every citation is 100% correct". Hallucinated citations may include borderline cases where the LLM reworded a title or changed the author "Martin Miller" to "Maria Miller", because apprently Maria sounds better than Martin. Just because one co-author decided it's a good idea to tell an LLM to improve the writing and remove typos on a draft, arxiv will punish all co-authors. As I said, I find this harsh, but necssary in the long run.Generally speaking: There are multiple authors per paper, because they split the work. If I had to redo all work of the co-authors to be 100% sure they are right, there's no need to have co-authors at all. If you don't trust your co-authors, you'd need to write only single author papers.Just to be clear: I am not trying to justifying anything. My point here is that LLMs are making problems we already had in academia much worse.
