LLMs can't cite. They don't know what a citation is other than a collection of text of a specific style
You'd be lucky if the number of references equalled the number of referenced items even if you were lucky enough to get real sources out of an LLM
If the student is clever enough to remove the trap reference, the fact that the other references won't be in the University library should be enough to sink the paper
Duckduckgos llm cites it's sources. I've seen screenshots of googles llm doing the same.
You're basing your entire comment on made up nonsense, that hilariously might as well be a llm result.
They can. There was that court case where the cases cited were made up by chatgpt. Upon investigation it was discovered it was all hallucinated by chatgpt and the lawyer got into deep crap
LLMs can cite. It's called Retrival-Augmented Generation. Basically LLM that can do Information Retrival, which is just academic term for search engines.
You can just print retrival logs into references. Well, kinda stretching definition of "just".
