I don't know anyone who uses AI in their research. Why would you? If you know your field it's quicker to do the work yourself rather than check for all the hallucinated references.
Unless of course you're lazy and aren't interested in your professional reputation.

They need a tool that works as well as endnote or zotero without the overhead of installing software or maintaining a database. www.citationwizard.net/ is that tool. Paste in your paper with just in-text citations. It'll find them and give you the references properly formatted.

I use AI to locate sources. I then verify those before using them. An enhanced Google search, nothing more. Like if I need the email address for a registrar of a university, and the university's website only has a contact form...

Yes, as an enhanced Google search it's not bad for the simple things.

As I said to a peer recently, "Why go to all that effort to guess at things we already know the answers to?"

Where do we end up as a society if we pollute our pool of factual knowledge with incorrect statistical guesses?
