‘But there is a difference between recognising AI use and proving its use. So I tried an experiment. … I received 122 paper submissions. Of those, the Trojan horse easily identified 33 AI-generated papers. I sent these stats to all the students and gave them the opportunity to admit to using AI before they were locked into failing the class. Another 14 outed themselves. In other words, nearly 39% of the submissions were at least partially written by AI.‘

Another thing is, you often gain interest on the topic, and Wikipedia indeed has the neat little thing of articles being related to each other, so it's very plausible to start on Chandler Bing and end on the Atlantic slave trade, for instance. With LLMs, this is much, MUCH rarer, considering whatever you find interesting must be researched manually, since LLMs are more or less useless.
