I just had a reply guy use AI to hallucinate a fake study citation to “prove” I was wrong.
And a whole bunch of onlookers liked his response, probably assuming the fake study was real. Because that’s the way the Internet is now.

Study finds “polarization surrounding universities’ societal roles” but its methodology defines those societal roles as not part of universities “core mission”. This reinforces the damaging narrative that DEI, for example, is in opposition to doing good research, not an integral part of that mission
