AI-written Navier-Stokes paper slammed for missing classic references

An AI-generated paper on Navier-Stokes blowup drew scrutiny from mathematicians: its reference list omits Chen-Hou, Alpoge-Buckmaster, Córdoba & Martínez-Zoroa, Elgindi and other canonical work on the problem — failing to attribute prior research at all.
'Where we're going we won't need references,' the retort quips — another concrete case of AI academic-tool citation gaps.
