Why focus on hallucinations/LLMs and not on the authors? There are rules for submitting papers.
If I drop a loaded gun and it fires, killing someone, we don't go after the gun's manufacturer in most cases.

This isn't directly to your point, but: A civil suit for such an incident would generally name both the weapon owner (for negligence, etc.) and the manufacturer (for dangerous design).
Actually, if you’re the US navy, you DO go after the manufacturer!
Go look up the P320 pistol and the tons of accidental discharges that’s it’s caused.

Thanks. But's not actually the point I'm trying to make.
What I'm saying is that the authors have a responsibility, whether they wrote the papers themselves, asked an AI to write and didn't read it thoroughly, or asked their grandparents while on LSD to write it... it all comes back to whoever put their names on the paper and submitted it.
I think AI is a red herring here.
