AI source credit/citing
I am just hopping on the new AI features. Just created a sample course in RISE using only an AI prompt - after reviewing what was created, it was awesome. HOWEVER, I don't see any source info - how do I know where the content comes from, whether I'm "stealing" info from another source....all that jazz. I just want to understand this since I'm wary of using something that belongs to another content creator. Normally, I would make a note if content comes from another source...like a bibliography or the like. Just curious how others are feeling about this or if I'm missing something totally obvious! :-)

Good question. I recommend taking a basic course on generative AI to get a better understanding.
AI doesn't steal content in the sense that you type in a prompt and it searches for content and then copies and pastes it.
It was trained on data sets where it ingested billions of examples that encompasses styles, content, grammar, etc.When you type in a prompt, it breaks it into tokens and the tokens are mathematical vectors. What it does from there is it calculates the mathematical probability of what should come next. Essentially, it guesses the next most likely word one by one, continuously evaluating the broader context of the sentence so the final text flows naturally.
Obviouly that is an over simplified explanation. :)
