In a debate with @littmath, mathematician Obhishek Saha argues it is difficult if not impossible to tell if a paper is fully AI-generated, and that conflating AI use in writing with lack of effort is a fundamental mistake — he uses AI in every part of his own writing workflow. He opposes introducing new costly signals, especially any tied to AI usage.
