Funny, in my high school literature class I clearly remember being chastised for having sources in my works cited; but not warranting their inclusion with an actual reference in the work.

It's kind of wild that LLMs and other models/sequences will be able to quickly suss out which papers have high levels of referential integrity.

>which papers have high levels of referential integrity

The problem with this, as I see it IMO, is that there could be references that are cited due to their influence on the thought process/writing process of the work - thus citing them gives contextual zeitgeist - and this is something that AI would not be able to muster...

SO a LACK of referential integrity should show that it is written by a human as opposed to an AI.

LaTeX will only include the sources in the bibliography if they are used at least once in the document.
