I want to reiterate that countless conservative judges issued universal injunctions against the Biden administration, and the Supreme Court never halted the practice. Now, barely five months into Trump's second term, the court puts an end to these injunctions. A brazen double standard.

There is a very simple way to use AI constructively without being a dupe: Ask it for its sources and see if they say what it claims. Not rocket science, but lots of people just ... don't do this. Which suggests they are not checking the sources on other resources they use.
One thing I'm taking away from all the stories of people copying fake AI citations is how many people must be cribbing from Wikipedia in similar situations without ever checking its sources. Lots of pseudo-knowledge circulating because people are too uncritical/lazy to check it.
