Just noticed that #ChatGPT can reformat citation lists. I copy&pasted parts of my publication list from my webpage and asked it to reformat using the ACS style. It also kindly removed the unwanted text to links without being instructed explicitly. Don't hold me responsible for mistakes though :)

@SteinbockGroup I see plenty of disadvantages and no advantage over using a proper citation manager.

@rastinza Citation managers have plenty of incorrect data that only few ppl correct for themselves. It is actually quite aggravating and a rather big disadvantage. Non-English titles and names are the worst. I sometimes find myself in a fierce editing battle with co-authors who keep on replacing my corrections with EndNote etc. I think retractionwatch reported that 25% of all references have mistakes. Not saying chatgpt will solve this all :)

@SteinbockGroup I doubt chatgpt will be able to solve this problem.

@rastinza I agree. How do Italian titles/name fare in reference lists?

@SteinbockGroup I'm not sure what you mean by that. Generally the title is not included and the name is shortened to just the initials. Surnames are present in full length and are generally correct. Spelling errors do happen sometimes, but I didn't see it that often. Italians tend to cite other Italians a lot, so this might play a role.
