It's going to be even worse than 50:

> Given that we've only scanned 300 out of 20,000 submissions, we estimate that we will find 100s of hallucinated papers in the coming days.

20,000 submissions to a single conference? That is nuts

Doesn't seem especially out of the norm for a large conference. Call it 10,000 attendees which is large but not huge. Sure; not everyone attending puts in a session proposal. But others put multiple. And many submit but, if not accepted don't attend.

Can't quote exact numbers but when I was on the conference committee for a maybe high four figures attendance conference, we certainly had many thousands of submissions.
