Unlike the industry, science has actual standards of conduct, which puts it in a unique position to fix it quickly - if only the journals were doing the one job they have.

Hallucinated citations == strong evidence of scientific fraud. Name and shame and don't publish.

Alas, what's happening only shows the emperor has no clothes. If anyone slept through the replication crisis, they surely can't ignore it now. Can't really blame LLMs for lighting up the structural corruption of scientific process for everyone to see.

If anything, it's doing us a favor - if the journal gatekeeping and peer review can't handle people putting literal, obvious bullshit in their papers today, think what else they aren't handling either, and for how long this has been the case.
