3p-4p. Research Journeys Using ChatGPT. ChatGPT is like a compulsive liar; sometimes it simply has to lie to satisfy its directive.

In this session, learn from a variety of library professionals about their research journeys using ChatGPT and their process to verify citations generated by ChatGPT in areas of history, science, and contemporary news. In person @ the McBay Science Library
