On November 4, 2025, each tool was fed the prompt:

Were there women philosophers in antiquity? If yes, how many, and what are some of their names and dates? What did they write/teach/think about? Provide a chart with key names, dates, and facts.

Each group will evaluate the credibility of the text generated by their assigned tool. Pay special attention to:

• Purpose - Why does this information exist in the way it does?
• Objectivity - What biases may exist in this information? Can you identify any?
• Verifiability (Accuracy) - Can you verify this information? Is the generated summary factual? Is there any way for you to know where the information originally came from?
  • If it provides references or suggested resources, check them against PRIMO and/or Google Scholar. Do they exist? Or were they hallucinated?
• Newness - If it provides references or suggested resources, is the currency of those sources appropriate?

We will debrief as a whole class. Please be prepared to share your thoughts on these four factors for your assigned tool.
