I just had to take my name off a manuscript (not yet public) because it turned out that one of the coauthors had been using ChatGPT to help them write it all along without telling the rest of us and I don't want my name on that.
It didn't help that the same day I had to remove over 50% of a long Wikipedia article on algorithms because for months some editor had been using an LLM to expand it, complete with falsified references whose links went to actual papers on unrelated topics.
