I'm sure many of us remember writing assignments, and at the very end hastily finding citations that support what we wrote (No one? Yeah me neither). That could now all be automated.

Did you even read what ChatGPT gave you? The second article is real but it doesn't support the statement that video games cause violence. ChatGPT even said so itself. The third article is also real but off topic and neither supports nor refutes your thesis.
