Andy Zou, a computer scientist, highlights the limitations of AI chatbots, particularly their frequent errors in suggesting accurate academic references.

Such mistakes underscore the necessity for users to critically assess chatbot information and recognize that hallucinations are an inherent part of LLMs' operational framework.
