This is a theory I had put forward before: Made-up (but plausible-sounding) sources are probably one of the few reliable “AI detectors.” Lazy people would not normally bother to come up with something like this themselves.
Its probably the most reliable AI detector there is.
Even if someone's actively misrepresenting statistics/sources to push some kind of grift, those underlying stats/sources are near-certainly going to be genuine if they aren't using AI - not out of any moral obligation, but because made-up stats/sources will get their entire grift thrown out if they're discovered.

I believe it is not just that. Making up some of those references as a human (in a way that sounds credible) would require quite a lot of effort and creativity. I think this is a case where the AI actually performs “excellently” at a task that is less than useless in practice.

Pain. I am experiencing pain. Physical, mental, and spiritual pain. Oof. Ow. My soul.
