To me, this is exactly what LLMs are good for. It would be exhausting double checking for valid citations in a research paper. Fuzzy comparison and rote lookup seem primed for usage with LLMs.

Writing academic papers is exactly the _wrong_ usage for LLMs. So here we have a clear cut case for their usage and a clear cut case for their avoidance.

If LLMs produce fake citations, why would we trust LLMs to check them?

Because the risk is lower. They will give you suspicious citations and you can manually check those for false positives. If some false citation pass, it was still a net gain.
