It is - I cannot emphasise this enough - shit at summarising literature. Because of course it is.

The dresses of Frida Kahlo, which have been on display in Mexico City. The artist adopted a brightly coloured folk style reflecting her promotion of indigenous arts embraced by the Mexican Renaissance movement and symbolic of a cultural identity freed by revolution #WomensArt

Today, far right leaders will try to spread hatred and fear on our streets. We’re all too familiar with the consequences of that politics, how quickly dehumanising rhetoric escalates into real-world violence.

People are saying that this is a problem for all library catalogues but that's not true: this is a problem for, in this case, Ex Libris Primo and more generally for outsourced proprietary library catalogues that libraries don't control. The answer, as always, is to build and control our own tech.
When viewing the fake article in Google scholar on my university network, there is a link to access the article via my uni's library. That link sends me to a library page that makes fake article appear real... Turns out library page is made programmatically from info on Google scholar 🤦
