If a scientist uses an LLM to write a paper with fabricated citations - that’s a crappy scientist.
AI is not the problem, laziness and negligence is. There needs to be serious social consequences to this kind of thing, otherwise we are tacitly endorsing it.
The problem with this analogy is that it makes no sense.
LLMs aren’t guns.
The problem with using them is that humans have to review the content for accuracy. And that gets tiresome because the whole point is that the LLM saves you time and effort doing it yourself. So naturally people will tend to stop checking and assume the output is correct, “because the LLM is so good.”
Then you get false citations and bogus claims everywhere.
Right. A gun doesn't misfire 20% of the time.

How long are we going to push this same narrative we've been hearing since the introduction of these tools? When can we trust these tools to be accurate? For technology that is marketed as having superhuman intelligence, it sure seems dumb that it has to be fact-checked by less-intelligent humans.
