That may mean that a bunch of students don't actually engage.

So far I plan to let students propose 1-2 sentence additions to the list, and for others to vote for contributions.

Then at the end, I assemble the sheet from the most voted contributions.

The decision seems to strongly depend on the review quality, difficulty of prompt design, and the accuracy of the genAI result.

- How likely is a researcher to be able to generate an appropriate high quality prompt?
- How would one establish validity of the genAI output?
