Undergrad and grad students struggle with citation, including tracking an idea back to its original source. Generative AI can’t and likely won’t ever be able to do this. It’s a huge problem if we care about intellectual property and integrity.

AI literally exists to obscure its sources, so you can't tell where it's plagiarizing from, so yeah.

It's hard to get across to them 1. that tracing the path of an idea is part of thinking about it and 2. that they themselves are part of a chain of inquiry.

Disclaimer, I do not use genAI on purpose for anything at this point. I am stubborn and often prefer to "do things the hard way." But, there are products that are trying to deal with the citation/hallucination problem, like Perplexity.

Maybe it can't cite sources, but it can create sources to cite: I recently learned from UM's own AI engine that I've apparently written a diss. on Juvenal as well as my actual, on Roman bribery. Mind you, it's looking at UM's own data, and it still gives this result.
