EY Canada published a cybersecurity report and most citations were hallucinated | Hacker News

Hacker News debated EY Canada’s cybersecurity report after readers found many citations appeared to be fabricated.

The thread framed the issue as a broader AI hallucination problem in professional publishing, not just a one-off mistake.

Critics said organizations are increasingly shipping AI-generated work without enough review from subject-matter experts.

The case underscores the need for stronger human QA, output vetting, and compliance workflows before AI content is released.
