One of the reported hallucinations in this work [1], starting with David Rein, says the other authors are entirely made up. They are indeed absent from the original cited paper [2], but a Google search shows some of the same names featured in citations from other papers [3] [4].
Most of the names in these wrong attributions are actual people though, not hallucinations. What is going on? Is this a case of AI-powered citation management creating some weird feedback loop?
