"arXiv is a cancer that promotes the dissemination of junk 'science' in a format that is indistinguishable from real publications."

Riled by low-quality #preprints about #ChatGPT, @emilymbender pulls no punches. Thoughts, @academicchatter?

@ukrio @emilymbender @academicchatter I'm a strong supporter of arXiv, but she makes some valid points. The same criticisms could be made, and with more validity, for the many predatory and grey journals. The real problem is the pressure to publish at any cost - as long as this continues we will see a flood of poor-quality papers and sadly any old rubbish can be published somewhere these days.
