Some would argue that, due to the unfortunately near-universal deprecation of paper authors after 70-90 years, the actual process of writing any particular paper is not and has never been reproducible. As opposed to experiments, which are reproducible and are not generally contained within the operating weights of a LLM nor the thoughts of a human.

Your observation, while accurate, is a tangent. The point of the bibliography in the context of an academic paper is to reference the academic merit of the work. In the case of science, this would be reproducible experiments (ideally).

Perhaps you would prefer to include the generated text source as an author.
