A recent arXiv paper titled “Slicing Is All You Need” sparked a humorous discussion on Hacker News, primarily revolving around the overuse of the phrase “is all you need” in academic titles. Many commenters pointed to a previous HN discussion labeling the phrase “harmful,” with some playfully suggesting alternatives like “goto is all you need” or referencing Beatles lyrics. Others advocated for arXiv to actively block submissions using the phrase, alongside similarly versioned model names like “YOLO-v15.” The conversation also touched on the broader trend of researchers emulating popular AI paper titles for perceived prestige, and the hope that these title fads will become amusing historical footnotes in internet culture. Ultimately, the thread highlights a lighthearted frustration with repetitive naming conventions in the AI research community.
