To begin, when I first started my consulting journey, I was told to never use Wikipedia. The caveat of that is to never use it without double-checking your sources and the information. This is because anyone can add information to Wikipedia.

Now, on to AI (i.e., ChatGPT, Siri, Alexa). AI has ‘hallucinations’, meaning it makes stuff up. It apparently learns from you and what you are looking for and will tell you what you want to hear. A major recent example of this is a legal case out of Mississippi where both Attorneys used AI to “find” relevant cases, and AI on both sides made them up. Judge Cancels Trial After Finding Both Legal Teams Used AI The trial was cancelled, and both attorneys received fines. Building off of this, if one person in those offices had popped those cases into a reputable search engine (Nexlaw, or even Google or Bing), they would have found no such case references.

AI is a useful tool, but you must use due diligence in fact-checking the information it provides you. As AI is used more and more, the checks used by instructors and courts will become more diligent.

As Ronald Reagan said trust but verify still holds true. Just to be honest, I let AI make the picture for this post, an interesting choice.
