Hi everyone! I’m an undergraduate student and independent developer from South Korea. I recently participated in an educational experiment featured in The Extinction of Thinking (생각의 멸종), a documentary by EBS, South Korea’s public educational broadcaster. The question was simple: Can students recognize misinformation when it comes from a confident, convincing AI chatbot? What we did We conducted an experiment in real middle school history and ethics classes. Teachers prepared false claims and examples in advance. I helped design the experiment and developed two tools: AI misinformation chatbot : intentionally delivers misleading information based on teacher-provided scenarios, with randomized difficulty levels. Teacher dashboard : allows teachers to monitor students’ conversations and responses during the activity. The goal wasn’t to build a better chatbot. It was to create an environment where students could experience how easily AI-generated information might influence their understanding. What happened In the classroom experiment, the participating students failed to identify the misinformation, even while attending lessons, completing assignments, and discussing the material. This wasn’t a large-scale scientific study, and I wouldn’t generalize the results to all students. But seeing this happen in an actual classroom raised some interesting questions. Are students learning to understand information, or simply learning to obtain answers? And how do we teach critical thinking when AI can generate convincing explanations for things that aren’t true? Open source I decided to make the classroom tools available as an open-source project through NomaDamas so other educators and developers can experiment with similar activities. GitHub: https://github.com/NomaDamas/EBS-Gurapingala-teacher The experiment is featured in an EBS documentary premiering on November 2, 2026. Official program page: https://docuprime.ebs.co.kr/docuprime/newReleaseView/680?c.page=1 I’d really love to hear from teachers and education researchers here: How would you design a classroom activity that teaches students to question AI-generated answers rather than automatically trust them? And have you tried anything similar with your students? submitted by /u/Working_Original9624
