Stop letting LLMs edit your .bib [D]

Reddit r/MachineLearning News

Summary

The article criticizes the reliance on Large Language Models for generating bibliographic entries, highlighting issues with hallucinated citations and incorrect author lists in academic papers.

It’s shocking how frequently I notice hallucinated citations. For citations of my own papers, I’ve seen 5 in the past couple of months, where the the title is correct but the author list is wrong. When I email the author to let them know, they always blame an LLM for hallucinating. Is it really that hard to populate the .bib yourself? If you have any respect for research, is it not a basic requirement to make sure you correctly cite the prior literature? I feel there should be harsher penalties for these hallucinated citations. Are others experiencing the same?
