Fake references. While peer-reviewing an academic paper, I checked the reference list and found that around 80% of the cited sources simply do not exist. It seems highly likely that they were fabricated by GenAI. This isn't a mistake. It's academic misconduct. Brazen, lazy, and profoundly unethical. This is an abuse of the peer-review process and a waste of reviewers' time. #NoGenAI #FakeReferences #Spookreferenties
