From the ACC Office of Distance and Alternative Education: "Packback is an AI-powered discussion and writing tool that improves student outcomes through instant feedback. The Packback / ACC partnership means that the entire suite is free for use by all faculty and students. This includes Packback Deep Dives, Questions, and Instruct."

Packback Deep Dives includes a set of AI "assistants," including the “'Digital Research Assistant,' an AI assistant that provides instant feedback on the credibility and quality of sources, and generates citations instantly in APA or MLA format," according to the Packback Deep Dives webpage.

Whereas ChatGPT will actually discover sources (or invent fictional ones and then insist it didn't) and provide citations for them, Packback Deep Dives appears to only provide feedback on the credibility of student-generated sources, and will also provide accurate APA and MLA citations for them.

The text generated by ChatGPT in the screenshot at the start of this article is an overly optimistic and idealized view of itself. We hope that in this article we can add the nuance that it lacks."
