All of them found hallucinated sources.
And the students learnt a lot (some examples in C.W. Howell's thread).

Thanks for these inspiring thoughts.
Your second point reminds me of the #confabulation syndrome of patients with right-hemispheric brain damages. Their behavior (at least superficially) has quite some similarities to #LLMs. Maybe the difference - at least to some left-hemispheric brain functions lacking a right-hemispheric balancing - is not that large?
This blog post has some interesting thoughts about it:

#Confabulation, false memory, or less often pseudomemory is a term in cognitive #psychology defined as a recollection of something that never happened. This can range from something as minor as misremembering an item on a list to fabricating an entire detailed, vivid #memory out of whole cloth. While it is intuitively obvious that memory is fallible, a great deal of #pseudoscience and #woo is built on the idea that all or at least some memory is infallible, as in much #anecdotal evidence. This assertion is unsupported by current evidence. Memory, in essence, is not akin to a tape recorder but a process that reconstructs past experience. This makes it highly susceptible to errors.
The foundational works relating to confabulation in #memory were produced by Frederic Bartlett & Elizabeth Loftus.

(I guess you could write PaaS as a verb? but that will get folks confused with both the easter egg dye and Platform as a Service.)
