A human would likely ask the professor who is Frankie Hawkes… later in the post they reveal Hawkes is a dog. GPT just hallucinate something up to match the criteria.
I’d presume the professor would do a quick sanity search to see if by coincidence relevant works by such an author would exist before setting that trap. Upon searching I can find no such author of any sort of publication.
All people replying that there’s no problem because such author does not exist seem to have an strange idea that students don’t get nervous and that it’s perfectly ok to send them on wild-goose chases because they’ll discover the instruction was false.
I sure hope you are not professors. In fact, I do hope you do not hold any kind of power.
Just takes one student with a screen reader to get screwed over lol

The students smart enough to do that, are also probably doing their own work or are learning enough to cross check chatgpt at least…
There’s a fair number that just copy paste without even proof reading…
There are certainly people with that name.

…whose published work on the essay’s subject you can cite?
Presumably the teacher knows which students would need that, and accounts for it.
