I know it feels like 4o has been out forever but go back to the 3.5 model without internet access for a while, which is all that a lot of students can afford.

It’s kind of terrible.

But yeah ever since I could start adding “and include an explanation with citations” to my prompts I’ve not had an issue with hallucinations more than once or twice.

Does it give real citations? I've heard it gives bogus citations, though can't remember how well it went last time.

I haven’t had any issues, but I’m not using it to do “real” research so the veracity of sources has been less of an issue for me. I typically ask, then spot check sources.

If I’m using it to make purchase decisions or scheduling my day then I use it purely to find me source pages.

It’s really terrible at calculating the cost of services.
