Crickey, getting answers to #statistics questions on the internet is getting really, really difficult... This evening I gave up on my web search queries that returned vast quantities of #GenAI slop and not much else... I ended up a) reading from a print textbook that I happen to have to hand and whose author I trust (Natalia Levshina!) and b) reading a long and highly informative blog post by someone whose work I also trust (is Andrew Heiss here?) to find the answer to my question. This experience leaves me wondering: How are my students supposed to find this kind of information nowadays? If I were entirely new to this, I would have no idea who to trust.
