Description of Problem:

"New entry from plain text" is based on the Grobid project, which uses machine learning techniques. Results are probability based, therefore not always 100% accurate.

We have had users that are confused by this and think the resulting data is or always should be true.

Solution:

Add a warning about confabulations or hallucinations in the GUI. It could be phrased similar to the warning that is shown to users that make use of the AI Chat or AI Summarization feature.
