Jeg kan aldri bli ekte norsk. God nyheter! Hvis mine etterkommere gifter seg ordentlig, har mine tippoldebarn en sjanse. FRP er jo et etnonasjonalistisk parti.

How I long for the times of yesterday when only the references were fake. Just handled a paper that I am sure is 100% AI generated nonsense research.

Just had my first (I hope!) editorial experience of AI generated references in a submitted paper. Broken DOI links, DOI links to wrong papers. In all these cases the references were hallucination.
