ChatGPT has significant limitations when it comes to citing real sources!
When ChatGPT is asked for sources without being given specific citation information, it will create plausible-looking citations for sources that don't exist. ChatGPT is so good at recognizing language patterns that it can make up sources that sound scholarly and legitimate but are fabricated. Some folks refer to this as a "hallucination."
Never assume that ChatGPT sources are real. You can try tracking down the original source, but after a while, you'll quickly realize it isn't worth the effort because the sources are FAKE!
Use PC Library's resources, such as One Search, our discovery tool, or Databases by Subject, for real research sources.
