The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1089 - May 23 2026

And if you leave that in there, give me a break.

So regarding this, Dietrich said, the trouble is, if they're not checking for these simple things, what else are they not checking for?

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1089 - May 23 2026

And that's really the crux of it.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1089 - May 23 2026

And it's the absolute key.

These people who are submitting these papers, if they leave such a ridiculous and obvious LLM artifact in their paper, then the archive seems to me has every right to just flat out assume it's potentially everywhere in the paper and just harder to detect.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1089 - May 23 2026

That's when they're going to have a problem.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1089 - May 23 2026

And they're not outright banning LLM help.

It's obviously a very valuable tool in so many scenarios.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe

But what the archive is doing here is they're saying that the researchers, the scientists, the people that are submitting these papers, they need to take full responsibility for their paper's content.

No matter how the content was generated, they need to take full responsibility.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe

And that's not that's not unreasonable.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe

It doesn't seem it seems to me.

District describes the content that they will be fully accountable accountable for as inappropriate language, plagiarized content, biased content, errors, mistakes, incorrect references or misleading content.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe

So these are the kinds of things that these people would be fully accountable for.

So if guilty, if they are found guilty of this, then there's a one-year ban from archive, followed by the requirement that any subsequent archive submissions must first be accepted by reputable peer-reviewed venue.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe

So if you want to come back after a year, you've got to get something that's peer-reviewed from a reputable journal in order to submit anything more to the archive.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1089 - May 23 2026

And this is – Dietrich describes this as a one-strike rule.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1089 - May 23 2026

It happens once.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe

That's it.
