Under what circumstances would a human mistakenly cite a paper which does not exist? I’m having difficulty imagining how someone could mistakenly do that.

The issue here is that many of the ‘hallucinations’ this article cites aren’t ’papers which do not exist’. They are incorrect author attributions, publication dates, or titles.
