> Gemini and Chat GPT with search are both perfectly capable of producing decent essays with accurate citations
OK, but this quote from your essay:
> The National Cancer Institute (NCI) reports that "cigarette smoking and exposure to tobacco smoke cause about 480,000 premature deaths each year in the United States."
...that citation is wrong. It's not from the NCI at all, the NCI cited that figure which came from another paper by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The essay doesn't have accurate citations, the model has regurgitated content and doesn't understand when that content is from a primary source or when it in turn has come from a different citation.
