With all of the ACM discourse going on, might as well chip in on a tangent.
Not reading a paper before citing it was always drilled into me as a cardinal sin. At St Andrews we had a yearly academic misconduct briefing. Then Uni-wide academic practice training.
15 years on, post-LLMs, we have ostensibly serious people defending “hallucinated” (fabricated) citations. It annoys me that these charlatans can pump crap into the literature just like Thames Water with absolutely zero consequence.
