How
Based on the author's acknowledgement, writing, style, etc., does the information source appear to be created using Gen-AI? If you suspect that Gen-AI was used, thoroughly review the article, fact check the article and all citations.
In an editorial by Dr. Hussam Alkaissi and Dr. Samy McFarlane to the peer-reviewed journal Cureus, they identified several instances of Gen-AI hallucinations. For example, when tasked to provide information on homocystinuria-associated osteoporosis and, on a separate occasion, late-onset Pompe disease, the Gen-AI provided a thorough paper with several citations with PubMed IDs. However, after fact-checking, it was found that the provided paper titles were fabricated and the PubMed IDs were associated with other papers.
