Jacque(line) Wernimont @wernimont.bsky.social · 04/12/2025Further reflection has me thinking about why we encourage students to cite rather than how professional citations work - though I understand that in a perfect world these are linked I think they often are not 010
Reposted by Jacque(line) WernimontRob Whelan 🌱 @robw.bsky.social · 04/12/2025Same. Citation is valuable to let a reader find the original source (with research or data, complete coherent ideas, other related work, etc) and give credit — with AI generated content, original sources are all boiled down, I guess, and not even recoverable. Can't do anything with that citation. 021
