Researchers propose separate repository for AI-written, AI-verified papers as publishing norms buckle

Kangwook Lee proposes classifying papers by human/AI involvement: human-written/human-or-AI-verified stays as traditional "publication" on arXiv; AI-written/human-verified will stop making sense within a year or so; AI-written/AI-verified needs a separate repository decoupled from publication. Chenhao Tan agrees on the separate repo but argues emphasizing "human-written" is distracting — the incentive to seek publication should be reduced instead. The exchange highlights how AI is forcing a redefinition of verification and authorship in science.
