Hallucinating content is concerning, and researchers should always verify their sources. But just like with self-driving cars, we need a reference point: human writers have been superficially citing papers based on the abstract for ages. Journals already publish studies with data errors, p-hacked results, and non-replicable findings at alarming rates. [..] If we applied the same skepticism to human-produced research that we apply to AI outputs, we’d shut down half the journals tomorrow.
