Another reminder for those who still seem to have not understood:
Chat programs do not “look up” information and then repeat it. They write plausible language in answer to a prompt based on their data set. References will use real people, journals & words from titles, but will not truly exist.

I just called out a student for using AI to write an extended abstract for my class. 3 of the 4 articles she cited are fake. They are by real people, in real journals, and the titles are similar to topics the authors study. But the papers do not exist! It is wild that ChatGPT invents articles.
If you leverage AI in literature review, CHECK THOSE REFERENCES. I just finished reading through a proposal on a topic that I knew well, and thus was surprised to see several papers referenced that I hadn't known of. Then when I looked them up online, I found they didn't exist. 7 fake references.
