I'm seeing academic venues threatened to ban people if they implications are egregious enough.

There's no reason why law shouldn't work the same way.

    Yeah.

    It’s crazy to think they wouldn’t, like with any other form of plagiarism or fraud. AI isn’t some special case that somehow gets people out of responsibility.

    Someone sends me anything with a reference that doesn't exist they can get fucked. Student, colleague... doesn't matter.

    LLMs (especially Gemini) have a tendency to hallucinate things from extant references, especially with a huge blob of spammy search results in context.

    Even with a real reference, you have to be careful.

    …TBH, I’ve been fighting fire with fire. Sometimes I get local Qwen 27B to point to the relevant bit in a reference. If there is one.
