Ask HN: Text-DaVinci-003/ChatGPT made up research sources?
I'm using text-davinci-003 to find some research backed findings to build up my startup pitch. However, when I ask for the research source (title and url) for AI's answer, the report title and urls given by AI are usually not accessible or searchable online.

Overtime, I started suspecting, are those reports and url fake/generated by AI?
Examples of the reports referred by AI:
4. Mental Health Foundation (2015). Why do some people not get the help they need? [https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/publications/why-do-some-people-not-get-help-they-need](https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/publications/why-do-some-people-not-get-help-they-need)
