I say, ban authors from resubmitting if #hallucinated references are used to guide/confirm findings. Made up refs are data fabrication, we know what that means! Minor misspellings can be raised with author. Don’t let Frankenstein references in! 😫 @olakwiecien3.bsky.social @watershedlab.bsky.social

Hallucinated citations are polluting the scientific literature. What can be done? Tens of thousands of publications from 2025 might include invalid references generated by AI, a Nature analysis suggests.

Hallucinated References: Five Excuses for Academic Misconduct When I proposed rejecting papers with hallucinated references, the support was overwhelming. But the critical voices revealed five argument patterns: from AI hype through TINA rhetoric to nihilism.

I thoroughly agree with business ethicist Dr. Dorothea Barr’s post about #AI and #hallucinated #references in #research #articles. Headline: “Hallucinated References: Five Excuses for Academic Misconduct.” dorotheabaur.ch/en/texts-and...

Not the weirdest #hallucination I've had, but if I had a nickel for every time I #hallucinated, I'd have two nickels.

And both times, they woke me up. Last time was around 2011, an adult male voice shouted "WAKE UP" for no good reason right in my ear. I much prefer the #cat #meowing, weird as it is

So, which of #Trumps #PartnersInFascism, #OpenAI, #Anthropic, or #GrokAI will be the one dragged in handcuffs in front of the #ICC, when it comes out that their #AI model was the one that #hallucinated that the #GirlsSchool in #Iran was a military building??😳😳🤬

Title, author’s name, headline, first paragraph, and a graphic showing library book shelves from an article published in Nature about literature reviews produced by an open-source artificial intelligence tool

AI tools are increasingly being used to prepare literature #reviews/syntheses but #hallucinated #references are a problem. @lizziegibney.bsky.social reports about OpenScholar, a new #open #source AI model, that outperforms commercial AI tools in generating accurate #citations doi.org/10.1038/d415...

Oh man, the #AI totally #hallucinated a #characterization of one of my characters. It took racial paranoia by a community and interpreted it as a plot reveal. This analysis comes from Gemini 3.0 analyzing the AI reading my book, what it thought.

UPDATE

Okay it DID ID a character in the books, but the WRONG character. It was a male not a female character. It was a young person, not a middle aged person. Wrong species, too.

So. Not so much "It knew" as it #hallucinated that it knew.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Another week -- which means another research paper questioning whether #LLMs should go anywhere near the scholarly research process. And the answer is, unsurprisingly, 'no'. #ChatGPT 4.0 and #Bard #hallucinated #references in circa 29% and 91% of cases. But there are many other worrying […]

Haunting words 14-year-old son said as he hallucinated, walked off 120-foot cliff in front of terrified father A California teen is in a medically induced coma after walking off a 120-foot slope right in front of his terrified father while hallucinating due to altitude sickness.

OMG!!

Another lawyer faces ChatGPT trouble - Legal Cheek Documents referenced 'nonexistent' cases

'An Australian #lawyer has been referred to a legal complaints commission after he admitted to using #ChatGPT to create court filings.
The #AI #chatbot “ #hallucinated” entirely made up cases and quotes which the lawyer incorporated into his submissions without verifying them.'

BBC complains to Apple over misleading shooting headline Apple's new artificial intelligence features falsely made it seem the BBC reported Luigi Mangione had shot himself.

Double-check the #news you read, because #ArtificialIntelligence may have #hallucinated it. Apple Intelligence did so about the BBC. www.bbc.com/news/article... H/T to @grammargirl.bsky.social for pointing out the issue via AI Sidequest, at ai-sidequest.beehiiv.com/p/merriam-we....

I thought I #hallucinated. But no, it was all real. And in the newsreel.
