    Remember in grammar school when your teacher told you that Wikipedia is not a valid source? I’m sure they’re saying the same thing about AI right now.

      The difference being that on wikipedia you could use the sources on there while AI makes those up as well

        A more important reason is teachers let you use Wikipedia sources, while even valid ai content is “not your work”

          I remember an AI that wrote a legal motion and justified its arguments by citing cases it made up.

            I mean, of course. For the record, that wasn’t the type that cites its sources intrinsically as part of its response creation process, although it wouldn’t be immune to hallucinations even if it was.
