@grammargirl@zirk.us @feisty_lemming@zeroes.ca I've done that and it generates ballpark-but-not-accurate information with fake citations.

    @eestileib@tech.lgbt Fake citations (and fake quotations) are a huge problem. And sometimes it’s not even that the citation is fully fake, but a real source has been transmogrified so the details are wrong—authors are in the wrong order, title is modified, etc. @grammargirl@zirk.us

    @eestileib@tech.lgbt @feisty_lemming@zeroes.ca I check everything and haven't had that problem. I find errors in maybe 1 in 50 links--like the page doesn't say what the model says it does--it's so rare that's just a total guess at the rate. I'm not asking it to find new information -- just to check existing info. Not sure if that would be the difference. I also don't use the free models. They are dramatically worse.
