I think here the challenge would be you can’t really follow the instruction, so you’d ask the professor what is the deal, because you can’t find any relevant works from that author.
Meanwhile, ChatGPT will just forge ahead and produce a report and manufacture a random citation:
Report on Traffic Lights: Insights from Frankie Hawkes
......
References
Hawkes, Frankie. (Year). Title of Work on Traffic Management.
Fair enough, if I thought it was just a bs professor my citation would be from whatever person I could find with that name. I’ve seen bad instruction and will follow it because it’s part of the instruction (15 years ago I had one that graded by the number of sentences in your answer, they can get dumb), but I totally see how ChatGPT would just make stuff up.
