GPTZero discovered 100 AI-generated hallucinations (fake citations and authors) in 51 papers accepted by NeurIPS, a major AI conference. This follows similar findings at other academic conferences. The surge in AI tool usage correlates with a 55% increase in substantive errors in machine learning papers since 2021.
