Over fifty new hallucinations in ICLR 2026 submissions

Last month, I was listening to the Joe Rogan Experience episode with guest Avi Loeb, who is a theoretical physicist and professor at Harvard University. He complained about the disturbingly increasing rate at which his students are submitting academic papers referencing non-existent scientific literature that were so clearly hallucinated by Large Language Models (LLMs). They never even bothered to confirm their references and took the AI's output as gospel.

Talk about a buried lead... Avi Loeb is, first and foremost, a discredited crank.

That’s implied by the fact he was on the Joe Rogan show.
