Five tool decisions — no obvious answers

Each question places a student at a specific point in their research workflow. Your task is not just to spot a hallucination — it is to reason about which AI tool fits the task, why retrieval does not eliminate error, and how to compose a workflow from specialist tools rather than relying on one tool for everything.

1
Read the scenarioUnderstand what the student actually needs, not just what they asked for.
2
Evaluate the optionsConsider what each tool is designed to do — and where it fails.
3
Answer the questionsApply your knowledge of tool architectures and academic workflows.
