It was not the students' use of a #ChatBot that was the problem, but they were using material found on the internet that *itself* was created by a hallucinating ChatBot and published without verification!
This is a type of model collapse we will be dealing with not just at universities in the near future.
@WiseWoman @SwiftOnSecurity Sounds like it’ll be back to the libraries for research.
