How about we give humans access
They probably already scraped it.
ACM has been leaning heavily into AI-generated content for their journals in the past year, and this article is no exception: it appears to be 100% AI generated and full of LLM verbiage.
There's something hilarious about that, but also, snake eating its own tail.
I don't want to be mean but if it's that hard to even recognize that LLMs are even a valid thing that could intersect with your business that you need some kind of campaign for it..
It's almost like, "don't hurt yourself unc, we will just search arxiv".
ACM bureaucrats and AI shills are flagging dissent. Welcome to 2026. The entire Internet is just top down propaganda.
the digital library should have always been open access
now it will be fodder for the slop machine
(i think that LLMs are going to wreck the peer review system for all but hard-experimental papers)
The real efficacy of the peer review system has always been somewhat questionable. That's a big reason why arxiv is so prominent.
Came to say the same thing. Now remains the time to give the public access to the ACM digital library.
ACM agrees I think: https://dl.acm.org/openaccess
> Beginning January 2026, all ACM publications and related artifacts in the ACM Digital Library will be made open access.
Wait, so did this already happen and it just didn’t get attention?

TLDR: “we’re going to try to get money from LLM providers for access to our back catalog without getting permission from the authors or providing them with any share of the revenue”.
Scholarly article authors never expected royalty or permission for their scholarly works to be reused.
