This is my stance exactly. ChatGPT CANNOT say what I want to say, how i want to say it, in a logical and factually accurate way without me having to just rewrite the whole thing myself.

There isn't enough research about mercury bioaccumulation in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park for it to actually say anything of substance.

I know being a non-traditional student massively affects my perspective, but like, if you don't want to learn about the precise thing your major is about...... WHY ARE YOU HERE

I mean, are you sure?

Studies in the GSMNP have looked at:

Mercury levels in fish: Especially in high-elevation streams, where even remote waters can show elevated levels of mercury in predatory fish due to biomagnification.

Benthic macroinvertebrates and amphibians: As indicators of mercury in aquatic food webs.

Forest soils and leaf litter: As long-term mercury sinks that can slowly release mercury into waterways.

If GPT and I were being graded on the subject, it wouldn't be the machine flunking...

I mean, it's a matter of perspective, i guess.

I did a final assignment that was a research proposal, mine was the assessment of various methods of increasing periphyton biomass (clearing tree cover over rivers and introducing fertilizers to the water) in order to dilute mercury bioaccumulation in top river predators like trout and other fish people eat

There's a lot of tangentially related research, but not a ton done on the river/riparian food webs in the GSMNP specifically and possible mitigation strategies for mercury bioaccumulation.

OBVIOUSLY my proposal isn't realistic. No one on earth is gonna be like "yeah sure, go ahead and chop down all the trees over this river and dump chemicals in that one, on the off chance it allows jimbob to give trout to his pregnant wife all year round"
