We're seeing the death of information and the dumping of concocted half-truth of the most misleading kinds. That coupled with human over-confidence and over-reaching is a bit troubling.

"Flagged references underwent sequential filters to minimise false positives: automated pattern detection removed parsing artefacts, and an LLM (Claude 3.5 Haiku; Anthropic, San Francisco, CA, USA) screened remaining candidates to distinguish genuine fabrications from formatting discrepancies such as informally abbreviated titles."

I don't know what level of trolling is this

A chaque fois qu'on me dit que l'IA c'est formidable parce que ça va soigner toutes les maladies... Oui, bon, en attendant ça bordélise la recherche biomédicale, surtout.
