When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

odgbv27.sciencesconf.org
Online Discourse of Gender-Based Violence - Sciencesconf.org
The very first days of 2026 have witnessed the proliferation of Grok AI-generated deepfakes on X. Over the past decade, institutional reports have constantly reported the presence of gender-based violence online (e.g. Council of Europe Gender Equality Strategy 2016; UN Human Rights Council 2018; Amnesty International 2020; Haut Conseil à l’Égalité 2024). In 2017, the European Institute for Gender Equality estimated that one in ten women had already experienced a form of cyber violence since the age of 15 (EIGE 2017: 1), encompassing cyber stalking, cyber harassment, gender-based hate speech, and non-consensual intimate image abuse (EIGE 2022).
