Simple example for how errors can creep into our papers through LLM use: I had a statistic for 2020. I googled about the same statistic for 2023. AI overview tells me the statistic for 2023 and provides a link to support the claim. The link is to a 2023 article citing the 2020 statistic.

PhysicsForums and the Dead Internet Theory
An exposé no one will read, about the widespread falsification of user posts in PhysicsForums, a scientific community founded in 2001. This is a microcosm of the death of the human-written Internet.
