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.
- ravi-delia 4y agoI'd rather not include it at all, for exactly that reason. It's just a writing tool- the paper is either correct or incorrect on the same basis as any other paper. We include bibliographies to ensure that the relevant scientific data is present, but I don't think there's any reason to say that a non-reproducible abstract isn't science

It would however be nice to have a mode where any output that matches some existing text in the training set could be highlighted, to help one avoid unintentional plagiarism.
