With wolfram alpha, or another plugin, I hope? You posted insanely detailed statistics and cited an LLM solo
Yeah i literally just said "give me the specific stats about ethnic makeup of urban/rural and how theyve changed in a few different countries from 1990-2020. what is your source for this data. put the data in a text-based table format"
I've used chatgpt in a research context numerous times and I always ask for sources and double check the sources. When asked for numbers most of the time it makes them up, when citing sources it also makes up titles of papers and DOIs. It's highly likely the information you got is entirely false
