In my digital studies class, I asked students to pose a query to ChatGPT and discuss the results. To my surprise, some asked ChatGPT about my biography.
ChatGPT said I received my PhD from two different universities, and in two different subject areas, only one of which represented the focus of my doctoral work.
This made for an entertaining class, but also helped illuminate a major risk of generative AI tools — making us more likely to fall victim to persuasive misinformation.
