This does not surprise me at all. What did surprise me was someone at lunch saying he didn't realize that #scholarlypublishing was having to spend so much time and effort weeding out fake #AI generated papers. & arXiv has fewer staff to deal with this than groups such as Springer Nature Publishing.

This is amazing news! Congratulations.

This doesn't really scare any 70-year-old of my acquaintance. Dial back on the click bait.
