Myth Machine Answer Key

Students explore how artificial intelligence can create “believable fictions” in this reading comprehension activity titled The Myth Machine: How AI Creates Believable Fictions. They read an informational passage about how AI sometimes generates false information that sounds real and answer short response questions that prompt them to reflect on truth, storytelling, and credibility. The task asks students to explain concepts like AI “hallucination,” provide textual evidence, and interpret key examples from the passage. This activity promotes deeper comprehension, inference-making, and written explanation skills while reinforcing the importance of verifying information sources.
