GPTZero found 100+ hallucinated citations across 51 NeurIPS 2025 papers. Fake authors, non-existent DOIs passed peer review at top AI conference.
Reality
Confirmed. Papers with fabricated references beat ~15,000 submissions. Exposed AI-generated content infiltrating academic publishing. Peer review inadequacy revealed.
Implication
Major academic integrity crisis. Showed AI can bypass peer review at elite conferences. Forced reassessment of review processes and AI detection.
