AI cannot be trusted to verify exact quotes by itself

Claim

Generative AI should not be trusted to verify exact quotations or citations without direct source-checking, because models often judge plausibility rather than exact textual accuracy.

Stance

Supported by the source articles as an AI-in-education claim.

Evidence

Practical implication

Students and educators should verify quotes and citations against source text directly instead of relying on chatbot assurances that a quote is accurate.
