Homer D'Uberville Had much the same experience with ChatGPT. It created a spectacular bibliography for a paper on designing public open space. Which was entirely fictitious. When I pointed this out it did apologize. But it really has no conception of truth or fact, it is just generating what looks plausible based on language models. Not Urban Design theory. Or Mechanical Engineering. Or, I suspect, coding.
