An even simpler example, I once wrote a bit of open-source code to compute a 'modular inverse', with comments referencing a paper and a website to read up on limitations of my implementation and faster options.
Out of curiosity, I had GitHub's Co-Pilot write the same function for me. It wrote the exact same code, minus all the helpful comments to help users go learn more.
Citations matter. But that's sometimes counter to the financial incentives of the people who rent time on LLMs, as they may have to flow some of that money (and attention) back to the people who created the training data.
