Good article, they built an automated reference lookup to systematically identify submissions that contained hallucinated references, and also searched for submissions that brazenly included ChatGPT reference links.

The fact that we've allowed the industry to get "hallucination" into our language instead of "fabrication" or "bullshit" like it really is, is sad.
