Out of spite this would make me mention Michel Breal in my acknowledgments (who apparently developed the concept of semantics in 1883, which LLMs are based on) www.dataversity.net/articles/a-b...
A Brief History of Large Language Models - Dataversity

Oh, now you're sending me into a fun rabbit hole of trying to find more "spooky" MeSH terms. So far I came across "Telepathy", "Witchcraft" and "Legendary Creatures" which I think is a different way of saying cryptids

Right? After contacting them I realised the error is due to a wrong PubMed ID, but I'm not sure if there is any use in letting them know, if this is the response I got after 3 weeks time..

Good luck! Could be something for the Scopus API, though I have no knowledge of how those work.... or otherwise you could split up your search into parts and merge them in your reg manager after
