At least Wikipedia is supposed to cite its sources, while AIs don’t.

[pardon_me]

AIs that were trained on data obtained through naughty channels actively avoid citing sources and full passages of reference text, otherwise they'd give the game away. This seems to increase the chance of them entirely hallucinating sources too.

Have you used one recently? The big providers all cite sources if give a research prompt.

[i80and]

Unfortunately, the citations are generally quite low quality and have in my experience a high rate of not actually supporting the text they're attached to.

[hk__2]

In my experience they just add random links at the bottom that are often unrelated to the response they give; there’s absolutely no guarantee that they did read them or that their response is based on them.

Sometimes they hallucinate them, or if they exist, sources include blatant nonsense (like state owned propaganda, such as RT) / don't support the claims made by the output.

Do you people even use the models or do you just lie about them?

You're using the Research model that isn't available to Free users. As a pupil myself, I can vouch for the fact that nobody is using the Research models here.

Even if a pupil does pay, they will either be too lazy to wait the nearly 10 minutes it takes for the AI to do its research, or they actually care about getting good grades and therefore won't outsource their research to AI.
