    I’m seeing academic venues threatened to ban people if they implications are egregious enough.

    There’s no reason why law shouldn’t work the same way.

      Yeah.

      It’s crazy to think they wouldn’t, like with any other form of plagiarism or fraud. AI isn’t some special case that somehow gets people out of responsibility.

          LLMs (especially Gemini) have a tendency to hallucinate things from extant references, especially with a huge blob of spammy search results in context.

          Even with a real reference, you have to be careful.

          …TBH, I’ve been fighting fire with fire. Sometimes I get local Qwen 27B to point to the relevant bit in a reference. If there is one.

            gemini mostly gets thier data from reddit anyways, hence the recent aggressiveness in reddit forcing logins, they likely mined all the data they could from genuine users, and need more new content.
