SocArXiv now has a limit of two papers per week. If authors submit more than that we assume they are LLM-generated and reject them all. Normal humans who need to upload a batch of papers, which sometimes happens, must make arrangements. Also today, ArXiv set a two papers per month limit.

This is a very good paper and you should all read it. However, to this part, I want to reply with Arthur Spirling: "Open generative AI models are a way forward for science" (doi.org/10.1038/d415...). Seriously, please don't default to sending students and other researchers to closed models.
