Good.

If it’s not worth your time to check the output of your LLM carefully, it’s not worth my time to read it.

Unfortunately, it's probably not worth your time to read 99% of arxiv papers, LLM generated or otherwise.

Ever pick a random one and really dive in?

  • Well, yeah, 99% of arXiv papers were not written for me or you. They were written for someone who works in a niche within a niche. That's (in my view) the beauty of research.

  • Agreed. There was already too much human generated slop in academia.

    And I’m not talking about good faith research that didn’t pan out, I mean research that is completely useless for any other purpose other than convincing a casual observer that the authors are doing research.
