ChatGPT hallucinates fake but plausible scientific citations at a staggering rate, study finds
"MacDonald found that a total of 32.3% of the 300 citations generated by ChatGPT were hallucinated. Despite being fabricated, these hallucinated citations were constructed with elements that appeared legitimate — such as real authors who are recognized in their respective fields, properly formatted DOIs, and references to legitimate peer-reviewed journals."

@bibliolater @science @ai yes, this has been my experience with it. ChatGPT hallucinated an edited book using my name--the thing was, the title and topic were quite plausible.
I suppose the difficulty is that because of the plausible nature of the 'hallucinations' they generate extra work in order to verify.
