Yeah, I've had similar experiences with younger classmates at Uni, and this was before AI overview was a thing...
It's been a year and a bit. From what I gathered talking to a Scottish student earlier this year (also female, so there's a pattern, arguably) it's only gotten worse since that time...
On that note, my Uni no longer discourages either generative AI or Wikipedia as a source, when it comes to essay-writing...
Which is... Deeply concerning, IMO.
I hate to think what it is like in corporate-land, these days...
I do some work with a kid in our respective home country and see him use google quite a bit.
He searches for something and copy pastes what gemini provides and doesn't really seem aware that there are actual websites below that.
