How can someone not be aware, at this point, that— sure- use the systems for finding and summarizing research, but for each source, take 2 minutes to find the source and verify?

Really, this isn’t that hard and it’s not at all an obscure requirement or unknown factor.

I think this is much much less “LLMs dumbing things down” and significantly more just a shibboleth for identifying people that were already nearly or actually doing fraudulent research anyway. The ones who we should now go back and look at prior publications as very likely fraudulent as well.
