LLM are a force multiplier of this kind of errors though. It's not easy to hallucinate papers out of whole cloth, but LLMs can easily and confidently do it, quote paragraphs that don't exist, and do it tirelessly and at a pace unmatched by humans.
Humans can do all of the above but it costs them more, and they do it more slowly. LLMs generate spam at a much faster rate.
