A blog post argues that over 30% of new arXiv submissions now read as AI-written, based on an attempt to measure AI-generated writing patterns in recent papers.
The key takeaway is not just the headline number, but the broader signal: academic writing quality and authorship norms may already be shifting at scale, making AI-detection in scholarly publishing increasingly relevant.
