Alaska's education commissioner drafted a proposal banning students from using cellphones at school, citing multiple studies linking cellphone distractions to poor academic achievement. The state Board of Education voted to approve the ban.

Just one problem: most of the studies cited in the policy don't exist; they were hallucinated by bullshit-generator machines ("AI"). This crap is now guiding public policy!
