I imagine that we will look back fondly on these days, when AI still is easy to spot because it hallucinates references. A non-existent reference is a slam dunk against an argument, but also technically easier to avoid. They will likely be much less common in the future.

It’s much harder to counter the reasoning word salad that LLMs sometimes produce, where A doesn’t really connect to B but the text insists it does.
