I'm not sure if this is known already, but sources generated by AI sometimes have the access-date parameter set to the model's knowledge cutoff date. For example, this [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=20&offset=0&profile=default&search=insource%3A%22access-date%3D2023-10-01%22&sort=create_timestamp_desc&sort=create_timestamp_desc&title=Special%3ASearch&ns0=1 search query] finds articles that contain sources with the access date set to October 1, 2023, which corresponds to [[GPT-4o]]'s knowledge cutoff date. I think this warrants a deeper investigation; perhaps we can create editfilters tagging this behavior.
