Ironically, it appears that AI chatbots hallucinate for the same reason that students feel compelled to use them:

They were socialized in a high-stakes testing culture that rewards guessing and maybe getting it right over admitting when there's something you just don't know.

A study in Nature shows that the earliest known ankylosaurs had uniquely elaborate body armour, including a spiky ornament on their tail. These extreme armour features are unlike those of any other vertebrate, including other ankylosaurs later in their evolutionary history. #Paleosky 🧪

The Devonian Period! Aka the “age of the fishes” but a lot happened on dry land: the first forests covered continents and the first vertebrates lived on land, including our ancient ancestors.

🦕🥗 What did sauropods really eat?

For the first time, fossilised stomach contents confirm these giant dinosaurs dined on conifer bracts, seed ferns, and flowering plants – all inside 'Judy', Australia’s most complete sauropod.

For the first time, fossil stomach contents of a sauropod dinosaur reveal what they really ate
Sauropods were the largest land-living animals of all time. Finding the traces of a sauropod’s last meal is nothing short of extraordinary.

Speaking of, pretty bummed to see ZERO mention of the museum excavating and taking care of these fossils in the new #WalkingWithDinosaurs book. Plenty about @paleojim.bsky.social’s “megablock” though.
