    An apparent surge in monthly arXiv submissions, with AI’s role unclear

    A user wonders whether AI has accelerated research or fueled low-effort preprints—and how to tell the difference.

    TLDR

    A user says monthly submissions to arXiv have “reached lift-off.” They offer two possible explanations: AI has meaningfully accelerated research, or low-effort submissions have made preprints less useful. They ask how either explanation could be measured.

    @andrewwhite01The submissions per month to arxiv has reached lift-off. One view is research has been meaningfully accelerated by AI and this is the effect. A cynical explanation is it's low-effort slop and preprints have lost all meaning. I really wonder how we can measure which is true.
