arXiv has clarified penalties for submissions containing unverified LLM-generated content. Papers showing hallucinated references or leftover AI meta-comments now trigger a one-year platform ban. After the ban, authors must first secure acceptance at a reputable peer-reviewed venue before resubmitting. Thomas G. Dietterich of Oregon State University outlined the updated rules in a public thread that researchers have since shared widely.
The penalty is a 1-year ban from arXiv followed by the requirement that subsequent arXiv submissions must first be accepted at a reputable peer-reviewed venue. 4/
We have recently clarified our penalties for this. If a submission contains incontrovertible evidence that the authors did not check the results of LLM generation, this means we can't trust anything in the paper. 3/

Many users back arXiv's one-year ban on papers with hallucinated references as fair and needed, while others respond with insults calling AI users a disease or demanding AI be banned outright.
