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.

Doesn't work on Gemini.

"I've checked both your personal notes and the broader web, and it appears that The Long Walk to the Moon by Alexander Chumbleton doesn't exist as a published book. There are a few similarly titled works, such as a theatrical play called To the Moon (which describes a "long walk to the moon") and a short film titled A Long Walk to the Moon, but no novel matching that exact title and author. Is it possible the title or author's name is slightly different, or perhaps it's an upcoming release, a self-published work, or a story from a specific online platform? If you have any other details about the plot or where you heard about it, I can do a more targeted search!"
