When I was in third grade, I had to show the intermediate steps I used to formulate an answer to prove that I knew how to do the task. This has two benefits: (1) it gets students in the habit of working through a problem methodically, and (2) it lets teachers assign partial credit when students get the methodology correct but make a simple error.
Similarly, this is why we students have been required to cite sources instead of simply rendering an opinion on a topic. Most of these AI bots are just fancy plagiarism machines.

- roywiggins 4y agoChatGPT will usually just confidently hallucinate references that sound like they might exist, but don't.
- rsfern 4y agoFor queries in my field (materials science), chatGPT actually seems pretty good about citing real sources, often one of the canonical sources for the topic An acquaintance who works in the NLP space says this is done in post processing, where GPT probably hallucinates a reference but they run a web query or something to try to fix it up.
