1. 29 July 2026 · corrected by Emir Baycan

   Corrected 3 unverified citations, each attaching unverified studies and statistics to real researchers' unrelated real work: an unverified David Autor 2024 Journal of Economic Perspectives paper titled 'Work in the Age of AI' with unverified productivity/promotion statistics (his real 2024 paper is 'Applying AI to Rebuild Middle Class Jobs,' an NBER working paper with a different, non-empirical argument); an unverified Gloria Mark 2022 Computers in Human Behavior study on automation reducing interruptions by 34 percent (no such paper exists in her publication record); and an unverified Leslie Perlow 2023 Harvard Business Review study of 1,400 knowledge workers (no such study exists in her publication record).

   What the page claimed

   Article cited specific papers, journals, and statistics for three real, well-known researchers that, on independent verification, do not exist in their actual publication records.

   What was corrected

   Removed the unverified studies and statistics, replacing them with accurate descriptions of each researcher's real, verifiable work and general findings rather than inventing replacement citations.

   Why: Real researchers' names and general research areas were used as anchors for entirely unverified papers, journals, and statistics - the same fabrication pattern found across this batch of legacy articles.
