When generating bibliographies, the models not only omit female authors or misattribute women’s work to male authors; they will also produce lists of works cited in which all work by men is attributed to its authors, while work by female scholars is simply left unattributed.

Humanities folks will hate this but AI is really, really good at checking citation formatting, making bibliographies, and creating indexes.

This goes harder than entire books, entire bibliographies.

Hiding away bibliographies at the exact point in time they are filling up with hallucinated slop references seems like a perfect plan that has no downsides if you ask me.
How do we convince publishers to stop doing this? Bibliographies and footnotes matter. They should be printed.
Websites decay faster all the time. Especially in an era of huge mergers like the one that created Penguin Random House, where calls for efficiency see pages culled at every chance.

Software bibliographies are easy! The 'softbib' package will automatically scan your project directory, detect which R packages you use, and create software bibliographies in Word, Markdown, BibTeX, and PDF formats. cran.r-project.org/web/packages...

Syllabi = reading lists, which feed research bibliographies; seminars = crowd-sourced input on those bibliographies
Those of us who teach in lower-ed “skills”-based education are often unable to reap the benefits of that kind of cross-pollination.

People who say "you can't possibly read everything you cite" are saying a lot about themselves, IMO.
It doesn't have to be a heavy lift. I spend about half an hour a day processing new-to-me papers by organizing them in my reference managers & adding topical tags so I can create bibliographies.

C'est amusant ça, dans mes travaux, je fais des listes aussi. Ça s'appelle des bibliographies, ça me permet de savoir qui je cite, ou à qui je fais référence
Madame, permettez-moi de vous dire que j’admire votre façon rigoureuse de faire des listes de noms.
C’est une habitude qui permet (entre autres choses) de clarifier la pensée. Merci à vous.

On the hunt for TTRPGs with annotated ludographies/bibliographies in their text. (In other words, not *just* a list of inspirations)

Having just spent the last 20 minutes scanning the bibliographies of all of these books on hoplites desperately looking to see if *anyone* cited Ardant du Picq (nooooope) I suddenly start to understand why Everett Wheeler is so angry all the time.

but what if this is the systems working as designed? what if the same bullshit that creates imagined sources in bibliographies and imagined witnesses in legal briefs is the same thing that creates reports of imaginary pathing that contradict the system’s actual actions? that’s an unfixable problem

One of the biggest tells for a ChatGPT-produced work is falsified sources. I have seen bibliographies including works by that well-known author, Jane Doe (writing, of course, for University Press), as well as her colleague, John Smith (writing for Critical Press).
