Researchers who use hallucinated references to face ArXiv ban

> But not everyone is convinced that such measures are the right approach. Natalie Khalil, the founder of Reviewer 3, a platform run from in San Francisco, California, that uses AI to help researchers to conduct peer review, argues that arXiv is treating the symptom, not the root cause. “If a researcher is banned from arXiv, they will still do research, just elsewhere,” she notes.

Notably, the commenter offers up no viable alternative solution

I suppose the root cause would be using/allowing AI for papers, since they hallucinate more than just references.

The root cause is researchers not proofreading "their" "work".

Sounds reasonable to me. They're also cracking down on other types of hallucinations in articles.
