When AI Becomes Your Worst Citation Manager

The birth of scientific gibberish in the digital age! When an AI confused two separate columns in a 1959 paper, it accidentally created the term "vegetative electron microscopy" - which doesn't actually exist in science. Now over 20 papers have cited this nonsense term because no one bothered to check the original source. It's academic telephone game at its finest. This is what happens when researchers just copy-paste citations without reading them. Next up: the groundbreaking field of "quantum photosynthetic algebra" when an AI misreads a biology and physics paper simultaneously.
