Just look at what a research team recently described a in a correspondence to The Lancet —over a three-year period, 4,046 references in 2,810 published scientific journal articles had been completely fabricated. Most of these fabrications were presumably hallucinations by AI, which kind of makes you wonder what else in those papers may have been artificial as well. By 2026 Approximately One In 277 Papers Had Presumably AI-Fabricated Citation...
