AI-Assisted Paper on Z-Library Cites a TorrentFreak Article That Doesn't Exist
TangerineDream · hn · 2026-10-24
TorrentFreak reports that an AI-assisted academic paper about Z-Library cited a TorrentFreak article that simply does not exist. It's a textbook case of AI hallucination leaking into scholarly citations: the model fabricated a plausible-looking source and the authors shipped it without verification, underscoring the citation-reliability risks of AI-assisted academic writing.
