Many people are not actually reading this. Arxiv is -not- banning the use of AI, or papers which used AI to generate proofs, code, etc. They are banning people who upload papers in which the AI content was (very clearly) not actually checked by the human author(s).

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Contradicts something the audience already believes, which stops the scroll.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Context → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: punchy
Mechanisms: Pattern interrupt
Written for: People building with AI
