I think its great.

They explicitly distinguish between a "flawed citation" (missing author, typo in title) and a hallucination (completely fabricated journal, fake DOI, nonexistent authors). You can literally click through and verify each one yourself. If you think they're wrong about a specific example, point it out. It doesn't matter if these are honest mistakes or not - they should be highlighted and you should be happy to have a tool that can find them before you publish.

It's ridiculous to call it doxxing. The papers are already published at NeurIPS with author names attached. GPTZero isn't revealing anything that wasn't already public. They are pointing out what they think are hallucinations which everyone can judge for themselves.

It might even be terrible at detecting things. Which actually, I do not think is the case after reading the article. But even so, if they are unreliable I think the problem takes care of itself.
