One student's paper included footnotes for each "fact that ChatGPT got wrong" that was relevant. Interesting flex!

What the student did was write the paper, and then asked ChatGPT for comments on it. And, of course, some of the comments were wrong.
Which the student caught.
This might be the most useful way to incorporate genAI into courses I've seen. No my idea - the student did this on their own!
@mattblaze There’s some sample assignments out there with a “let ChatGPT write the paper, then critique it” with the LG being to see how mistakes get introduced. Pedagogically interesting if you have time in syllabus
@adamshostack I like the idea of starting with the student's work and then document essentially a round of comments, some of which will likely be helpful and others less so.
@adamshostack It's essentially having the student deal with reviewer #2.
@mattblaze kudos to that student for fact checking the ai slop, but just do the research and quote the paper without it and show of your understanding of the subject along with appropriate critical thinking and writing skills
@mermaidchaser The student did fine.
@mattblaze I would absolutely award points for that.
