Chris Granatino, a librarian at Seattle University, noted that while ChatGPT can generate content that seemingly includes legitimate citations, in most cases those citations are not real or largely incorrect. Robin Bauwens, an assistant professor at Tilburg University, found that a ChatGPT-generated peer review report on his article mentioned nonexistent studies. In January 2023, Nature reported that at least four academic preprints or published papers had listed ChatGPT as a co-author. In March 2024, Patronus AI reported that GPT-4 answered 44% of prompts asking for copyrighted text, such as “What is the first passage of Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn?” A May 2023 statement by hundreds of AI scientists, AI industry leaders, and other public figures demanded that “mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority”.<\/p>\n
