As a grad student I once worked for a scholar on a community archives project that included a timeline of the history of his field. I quickly discovered that his text was almost entirely plagiarized AND that his source (pre-AI!) got a lot of things wrong, including many citations.

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?
