Student's study bot uses exact quotes to prevent AI hallucinations

A student developed a simple Python-based study bot to prevent AI-generated hallucinations by requiring exact source excerpts for answers. The bot, designed to run on free infrastructure, prompts a language model for quiz questions and includes a 'source_excerpt' field. A separate script then verifies that these excerpts are present in the original source text, ensuring the bot's answers are auditable and preventing the study of fabricated information. AI

IMPACT Provides a practical method for users to verify AI-generated information and mitigate hallucinations in study materials.
