'AI' is not a source.
It's a kind of weak literature review.
ALWAYS check the sources.

@mackayim2022 It’s not even a literature review - it’s a prediction of what a literature review might look like.

I expect a literature review to review the *actual* literature with an emphasis on what is most relevant for readers of that particular article.

@christinkallama Literature reviews can be pretty poor in both comprehensiveness and the quality of their summaries.
But I take your point. Got a shorter term for that?

@mackayim2022 yeah, if something can be plausibly written with a chatbot, then its function and/or execution needs to be reexamined.

It’s a guessing machine instructed to produce answer-shaped things you’ll like, without regard for accuracy.
