arXiv:2606. 28749v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although most undergraduates now use large language models (LLMs), a form of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) for academic writing, no validated method distinguishes the qualitatively different ways students rely on them.

The study investigates how generative AI (GenAI) affects student learning in AI-related courses, using survey data from 118 students across 12 courses. Four distinct user clusters were identified—high-use, light-use, and two moderate-use groups—each showing varying benefits and reliance patterns. The research highlights that early reliance, evaluation literacy, and instructor policies significantly influence perceived academic benefits and negative impacts, underscoring the need for institutional policies to address inequities in AI use.

The study examines how Large Language Models (LLMs) can exhibit an ‘inertia of confidence’, giving incorrect legal verdicts with high certainty, and tests this on Indian Contract Act cases. Phase I audits ChatGPT, Meta AI, and Perplexity AI, introducing the High‑Confidence Error Rate (HCER) to measure dangerous certainty, finding Meta AI most prone to errors. Phase II surveys 380 Indian law students, revealing that exposure to hallucinated citations increases verification efforts but most students lack formal ethical AI training.
