A Georgia State University professor was grading student work when he noticed something disturbing. The fake citations weren't just in student papers.
They were in published research.
Real journals. Real academics' names. Completely fabricated sources.
Here's how the contamination spreads:
๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐ญ: ChatGPT invents a citation.
Fake journal.
Fake article.
Real-sounding author name.
๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐ฎ: A sloppy paper includes it without verification.
๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐ฏ: That paper gets published and cited by others.
๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐ฐ: The fake citation now appears in multiple "legitimate" sources.
๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐ฑ: Future researchers and LLMs treat it as verified.
The brutal โฆ

I created a simple carousel using Gamma and it literally took less than a minute.
I take absolutely no credit for this other than the title and the link at the end.
The rest is all Gamma.
