I get multiple conference speaker invitations daily addressed to "Reeder RR" from "esteemed colleagues" - but I'm getting curious... has anyone ever showed up to one of these things? Is it like Fyre Festival? Do the venues even exist?

8 articles in the reference list are completely fabricated, but probably the most damning evidence that ChatGPT was used in this work can be seen in this screenshot of the preprint. Hovering over the 'Pubmed' link for one article, it gave source=chatgpt.com:
