The thing I don't get here, is how?

I understand that AI hallucinates papers, it's very annoying and one of the reasons I don't use it for research.

But you're supposed to go read the paper before you cite it. Evaluate the paper, even. And you can't even skim or uncritically read just the abstract of a paper that doesn't exist.

So a huge number of published academics don't even read what they cite?

It's concerning that there's a higher standard asked of students than professionals.
