This seems like a critical reason to open up about AI use in academia.
Scholars are using old AI models, badly, and not talking about it. New models hallucinate very few citations, and good agentic harnesses drop that further. Being open about use would help us make new norms.
Oy. According to a new paper in The Lancet, the rate of made-up citations in biomedical papers has increased by more than 12x since 2023. thelancet.com/journals/lance…

This figure illustrates how the monthly rate of fake citations per 10,000 papers in PubMed Central, has changed from Jan 2023 to Feb 2026. Starting in mid-2024, there was a sharp increase, reaching approximately 57 fake citations per 10,000 by early 2026.

An AI faked a reference in one of my papers. An editor caught it before publication. So I scanned 2.5 million biomedical papers. We found 4,046 citations to studies that don't exist. Up 12× since 2023. 98.4% uncorrected. Today in @TheLancet.
