Whoa, vindication for my hot take that my English teachers in high school who graded us on how many annotations we were making in our books doing the opposite of helping people understand what and how to cite things.

I think this post nails the actual problem, for researchers at least—AI hallucinations would simply not be a problem in academic work if we’d not normalized citation-as-signaling rather than actual engagement—you can only cite a fake paper if you’re not in the habit of reading the papers you cite
Do not cite an academic paper unless you’ve read it

Obviously it comes as no surprise that the new deputy Labour leader who ran as the 'challenger' to keir is literally no different, because there's no one else left in the party, but I find it amusing how they always lump income tax in with the two that aren't income based and hope we won't notice
