An IEEE Spectrum feature reports that freely available LLMs can generate plausible but fabricated scientific papers, and publishers like IEEE use human review plus integrity-check tools to try to block them. Volunteer efforts such as Wikipedia’s WikiProject AI Cleanup face similar, resource‑constrained challenges detecting and removing AI‑produced material from the encyclopedia.

An IEEE Spectrum reporter used free LLMs and an autonomous research system to create two submission-ready papers—one fabricated and one produced by an AI research engine—and sent them to IEEE Access for screening. Both were caught by the journal’s integrity checks for issues like fabricated references, heavy reliance on preprints, and AI-produced figure artifacts.
