No doubt, and it was probably a year and a half ago when chatgpt first exploded. At the time I'm sure even if the query had been written differently the content of the journals presumably wasn't accessible and so it just made it up.I suspect the issue wasn't with the AI but with the user. AI is already used to great effect to data mine scientific journals in my field. indeed I fear the job of a scientific curators days could well be numbered
Although as I mentioned the US govt itself seemingly did exactly the same recently, putting out evidence an AI had made up. Can't for the life of me remember what the details were unfortunately.
