We are doing a 10-week project to investigate the microbiome using Generative AI. Students are required to fill out a form indicating which Chatbot they used (they are recommended to start with Bard, Bing, or ChatGPT). They submit the two prompts they have used to get the information for that week. They are also required to get three citations that back up the information generated. They must link the citations into the form, and prove that they are accurate. If the citations are inaccurate (hallucinations), they must find an appropriate citation that either supports or disproves the material generated. They then discuss not only their (way cool) information regarding the microbiome, but how effect the AI that they uses was, and how accurate the citations. Then they grade one other student's submission for accuracy and citations.
