Why’d It Make That

This worksheet invites students to analyze AI hallucinations-false statements generated by artificial intelligence-and determine their likely causes. Each example contains a fabricated claim, and students must choose from possible causes like missing data, ambiguous prompts, overgeneralization, or fabricated authority. Learners explain their reasoning for each case, promoting analytical thought and understanding of how AI may err. The task fosters digital literacy and encourages students to interpret why misinformation occurs in technology-driven contexts.
