In this instance, it would know because of the citations.

Speaking of needing citations.

Well, citations are pretty important.

That’s what the citations and references are for.

This feels like the kind of thing to include citations with, no?

I don't think it's technically able to do that. It just tries to "guess" what the right source. It might get it right more often that not but that's not exactly what a citation is.

citing implies there is some kind of written documented evidence for it.

It gives you in-line citations so you can see which parts of the text might come from a subgrade source.

Agreed. And they know it's important because thier references usually includes the dates of the works cited.

gpm | karma 17771 | avg karma 3.89 · | 2020-02-20 21:51:01

It has citations in the form of hyperlinks, which in turn have detailed citations.

PhaseLockk | karma 134 | avg karma 3.27 · | 2022-05-24 08:27:51

That's what all those citations are for.

Yeah citations can be as simple as "this concept was mentioned in this paper first".

Not to mention that a citation is there not only to show the world whose content you are referencing, but also because in case the reader doesn't believe you and wants to go check, they can do so by following the citation

I think some citations would be in order.

Genuine question lost in the blizzard on this thread... but why would a citation add to this? It would just indicate that someone else agreed; what does this add?

gm3dmo | karma 193 | avg karma 1.66 · | 2021-10-18 11:57:00

It's called a citation.

r00fus | karma 17972 | avg karma 1.87 · | 2018-03-19 22:39:29+00:00

The citation is the article itself.

seanhunter | karma 10753 | avg karma 4.14 · | 2023-02-23 00:28:57

Giving credit to someone for the quotation is called a citation, and it's encouraged.

Humans are also pretty notoriously bad at doing this. It's also very easy to be inspired by something then forget the source. Humans often perform reverse-attribution, where they later realize or someone else points out a similarity, and only then do they add the citation.
