Scholars blast arXiv for losing its way as a preprint server over AI crackdowns
RexDouglass · x · 2026-09-15
Bhaskar (LA) publicly criticizes arXiv leadership for drifting from its preprint-server roots: trying to act as a journal without real peer review resources, and taking an unproductive stance on AI usage. He argues minimum standards should come via AI-assisted checks for basic correctness with resubmission options and modest rate limits—not gatekeeping and banning authors. A quoted author claims he was a victim of arXiv's 'shallow' recent policy.
