Scott Armstrong proposes arXiv ban for error-prone math papers
——0——
Scott Armstrong proposed a one-year arXiv submission ban for math papers containing obvious human-written errors detectable by models such as Opus 4.6 or GPT 5.5. The suggestion stressed authors' duty to run basic accuracy checks with available tools before uploading. Academics including Luca Ambrogioni and Pasquale Minervini amplified the idea via quote tweets and reposts, sparking discussion on lax verification standards that permit both human and AI-generated mistakes in preprints.
