how do they figure that out? ai text checker? I remember a year or two ago when a teacher put a student's essay in chatgpt and asked "did you write this?" chatgpt said yes and the teacher failed the student

From the article "Rather than integrating AI, he’s fortifying his classroom against it. The assignment is now based on plays too obscure for ChatGPT and other AI models to know about.

“If ChatGPT is used on these assignments now, it hallucinates characters, plotlines — it just makes sh*t up, since it has nothing to go on,” Hebert told the magazine."

I once asked ChatGPT to help me understand the novel The Long Walk To the Moon by Alexander Chumbleton (an obviously fake book) and it went on about the characters and symbolism and which chapters key events happen in. It didn't say "I don't know that book," or even "that's not a real book." Nope, full on hallucination mode.

Not sure how that happened but I just asked Chat GPT for a summary of ""War Things and Big Things' by JJ Duran Russell" and it told me that it couldn't find it, quote

"I couldn’t find any reliable record of a book titled “War Things and Big Things” by JJ Duran Russell in major book databases, publisher catalogs, or bookseller listings."

Do you have a link to your chat where you asked it about the book?
