For example, I just asked ChatGPT "How did the greek language come into existence?" and then "Please provide your sources." Here is what I got:

"A History of the Greek Language: From Its Origins to the Present" by Francis C. T. Moore. A real book exists by that title, but none by Francis C. T. Moore (who I don't think exists).

"The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the Language Sciences" edited by Patrick Colm Hogan. Real book!

"The Greeks: A Portrait of Self and Others" by Paul Cartledge. Real book!

"The Oxford Handbook of the History of Linguistics" edited by Keith Brown. A real book exists by that title, but it was edited by Keith Allan, not Keith Brown.

"Ancient Greek: A Historical and Comparative Grammar" by J. J. L. de Jong. 100% fake book (but god do I wish J. J. L. de Jong was real).

"Linear B: An Introduction" by John Chadwick. A real book exists by that title, but none by John Chadwick. John Chadwick is a real scholar who was involved with deciphering Linear B, so at least that's partial credit.

"The Greeks and the Persians" by John Boardman. 100% fake book (although John Boardman is a real historian of Ancient Greek art).
