Since we are now at the stage where it's difficult to distinguish well reasoned human discourse from that generated by AI, I think that deeply linked citation systems in the form of knowledge graphs will grow in importance. Otherwise it will be too easy for AI generated discourse to begin referencing itself, introducing biases and clinging to blatant falsehoods without an easy way to discover their origin and fix the problems

My god, that sounds horrible. I wish we could go back to pure human discourse in the sciences. That never becomes purely self referential, introduces biases, or clings to blatant falsehoods.

Only half joking. I do agree that AI content is going to change the landscape. However the things it does are all things it "learned" to do because... It was already present in the training data. The big change is just the scale those things can be done at.

Citation systems can and do discover circular reference. Not all of it! But it's a start.
