The person you were replying to was talking about checking those sources though.
Yes, fake sources can and will give people a false sense that it’s legit, but checking a “hallucinated” source will quickly make it clear that there’s nothing backing it up.
It’s a problem, but it’s one that an individual using it who’s aware of it does actually have a way of mitigating fairly easily.
