Got an email asking for help finding a cited source. The source was "The Autobiography of Alexander Ramsey." Now, Ramsey is at the center of my professional research, and I know that no such autobiography exists, so I asked for more information. They said it was cited in a ChatGPT request for more information. I had to inform them that ChatGPT is notorious for making things up.
More and more people are going to use AI for "research assistance." And this terrifies me.
