When the Alaska Beacon asked the education department where they could find the nonexistent studies, Bishop said the citations were just part of a draft that was put up on the website by accident.
Bishop said that when she realized the error, she sent the correct citations to board members, who only then voted to adopt the proposal. But there were still several AI hallucinations in the corrected document.
Bryan Zadalis, a spokesperson for state’s education department, said the citations were just “placeholders.”
Zadalis said he wrote the draft resolution and Bishop “then put it into a generative AI platform just to see if it could be helpful in finding additional sources.” That is, they used the LLM to construct some policy-based evidence.
Do they really expect people to believe this shit?
