Ask HN: Can AI help find citations and bibliography for an article draft?

1 pointsby beerglassover 2 years ago
While writing a scholarly article (for a journal, school project, etc), I need to provide appropriate citations and bibliography. While writing it, we use many sources and fail to keep a record of all the references. Once it is done, if the AI can read the article and find supporting and original reference for any fact or quote used in the article, it can save a great amount of time.

NOT doing that?<p>ChatGPT is happy to make up completely bogus references, for instance see: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=33841672" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=33841672</a>
