## Resource

AI-generated citations are infiltrating scientific research, eroding trust in the academic world. With nearly 150,000 fake references found in major databases, the integrity of scientific research is at risk. AI models are hallucinating and creating citations that dont exist, causing skepticism among academics. The problem is widespread and has been linked to the rise in popularity of AI tools. Platforms like arXiv are taking action by banning authors who submit work with unchecked AI-generated citations. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
