Trust, But Verify

While the fantastical possibilities of this new technology can be awe-inspiring, it is important to not become passive while using it. When using systems like ChatGPT, try to remember the saying "trust, but verify". This saying simply means that you should always do your due diligence to fact check the system and ask it to cite it's sources. This will help you avoid falling for hallucinations (which is misinformation consumed and reproduced by the system). 

Furthermore, there is currently no university policy about the usage of artificial intelligence at Texas State University. Because there is no consistent language on permission to use the technology, it is important to speak with your instructor about what their expectations are if it is not already outlined in the syllabus. You can review the university's expectations when it comes to artificial intelligence in AI Use in Academic Work.
