Module 2: Live Research & Sourcing — Use Copilot to search the live internet and automatically cite its sources.
- What is the 'Golden Rule' when using Copilot for research?
- Never trust a factual claim without clicking the footnote to verify it yourself. — AI hallucinations are real; you must be the final editor.
- How does Copilot indicate that it has pulled a fact from a specific website?
- It places a hyperlinked numbered footnote at the end of the sentence. — It looks very similar to an academic paper.
- Why are citations critical when using AI for research?
- Because AI can confidently misinterpret statistics or invent facts. — Hallucinations sound extremely convincing.
