Anyone who uses AI, better thoroughly edit it. We've seen multiple cases where lawyers had AI create briefs, and all the citations were were wrong, and they didn't check. A professor who banned AI for students was caught using AI on his syllabus, because he didn't take the prompts and counterprompts out.

I am not in school, or taking a class, but as an experiment, I asked ChatGPT to write a book, and have ten quotes, from ten sources. All of them were made up. I asked it to find sources linked to on the internet, and less than five out of 30 worked.

I've asked it questions about where neighborhoods in certain cities were, it just kept getting it wrong. I asked about Heisman Trophy winner, it got that wrong. It got really easy questions, available in lists online wrong. I am not saying it gets everything wrong, but the percentage is not good.

I asked it questions on income elasticity and it was completely wrong.
