I really don’t see any other solution to this kind of problem except for one: LLMs must become perfect, and never be wrong.

Relying on kids to do cross referencing and deeper fact checks into everything they ask an LLM is just not going to happen at scale.

What's so hard about following the Wikipedia model of citing sources? Even 20 years ago, it was clear to college students that they cannot cite "Wikipedia", but they can cite the academic literature it referenced.

It would take seconds to figure out of the ChatGPT citation is real or made up.

Maybe it’s the opposite; kids need to learn that LLM’s can bullshit just like every other person and institution can bullshit, and the most important skill they can have is verification of information, no matter where it’s coming from.

If everybody bullshits what is the point of not bullshitting yourself?

A more satisfying life, better life outcomes.
