MIT asks arXiv to withdraw preprint of paper on AI and scientific discovery

Bad OP Title

Better title:

MIT disavows heavily-discussed economics preprint paper about Artificial Intelligence and Scientific Discovery.

It’s the title of the original article…

I've attempted to put a neutral title at the top of this page. If someone can come up with a better (i.e. more accurate and neutral) one, we can change it again.

(Since press release titles about negative news tend to studiously avoid saying anything, we tend to classify them in the "misleading" bucket of https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, which justifies rewriting them.)

That would be contrary to HN's guidlines "please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."

Perhaps replace "take down" with "withdraw" (arXiv's mechanism to deal with bad papers post-publication; what MIT calls for) or "retract" (the mechanism that traditional journals employ and similar to previous; a common term in academia). In arXiv's way of handling papers, "removal" and "withdraw" are distinct[0] and, based on some comments in this thread, current title seems to create confusion that is about the former.

[0]: https://info.arxiv.org/help/withdraw.html: "Articles that have been announced and made public cannot be completely removed. A withdrawal creates a new version of the paper marked as withdrawn."

Ok, I've withdrawn "take down" and put up "withdraw". Thanks!

take down gave it a DMCA vibe ngl
