Hallucinations are known penomena with AI outputs. In these hallucinations, the AI generates completely fictitious results. One key area where AI seemingly regularly hallucinates is in generating references. It often produces titles of very interesting and relevant-sounding papers. However, often these papers do not exist at all.
We would strongly recommend using BPP Library resources to search for relevant papers. These papers will be real, not made-up, and the papers we have access to through the BPP Library are often ones that your tutors would want you to be reading. Search Everything on the Library website is often a very good starting place. And there are also many specialist databases for each School at BPP. We have video guides on using these on this page.
If the guidance for your assessment allows the use of AI outputs, you will have to reference them in the same way that you have to reference everything you refer to in your writing. Depending on which referencing style you are using, you will reference AI outputs differently. Cite Them Right is a useful tool for helping with referencing, and it details how to reference AI outputs in Harvard, OSCOLA and many other referencing styles.
