Irony is thick. Education report calling for ethical AI use contains over 15 fake sources - Ars Technica
So the Large Language Models are still hallucinating. Which is a polite term for what they are doing.
On Friday, CBC News reported that a major education reform document prepared for the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador contains at least 15 fabricated citations that academics suspect were generated by an AI language model—despite the same report calling for "ethical" AI use in schools.
Fabricated is polite speak for lie. LLMs are pathological liars in a box.
Since the inception of AI language models, generating fabricated citations has been a continuous problem. The tendency to confabulate academic citations often causes particular trouble in academic and legal contexts, where fabricated sources can easily slip past lazy human review because they appear properly formatted and contextually appropriate.
They are Language Models, not Truth models.

To be fair, most of the non-AI references will be made up bullshit, too.
