I teach high school history, and as I was marking essays written on Google Docs today, I found that a few students had chucked in generated images as "evidence." One was meant to show factory children in the 1800s and it looked like a modern warehouse with strip lighting and spotless uniforms. Another had roman soldiers standing outside what was pretty obviously a medieval castle.

Worst part is they were not even being sneaky; they either thought I wouldn't notice or thought this was fine. I had to spend half the next class on "a fake image is not a source" instead of the real history. Getting super tired of this glossy slop flattening their common sense.
