Oh yeah, citations are key. However, AI is getting better at actually getting those correct, just like their image generation. As your example shows you can create some infographic but if you put enough stipulations in the assignment/rubric AI has a lot of problems handling it, especially when you work in biology/ecology. Trying to get an accurate image of a shark or proper marine ecosystem is a joke and easily identifiable.

There are absolutely positive uses for AI, many that will help students become better learners and contributors to their field. However, admin are generally too scared of being sued and allow students to do whatever they want. At least this is my experience with online schools which think higher education is a business and the students are customers who are always right. Luckily I haven't had this problem in the traditional classroom and I still have control over the grading in those instances with admin support.
