Oh no. Even my mastodon feed has AI slop now. I would really like to understand why people do it. Why give away the power over language and style? Why smoothen so much to similar tone and cadence and words and grammatical structures? I mean, I really want to understand. What is behind it? I suspect feelings of being not-good-enough. But maybe time pressure. And probably many other reasons.

Fury! This kind of AI-generated sentence is flooding academic writing: "This case is not merely xxx. It is a site where yyy." "This is not simply xxx. It is about yyy". I think what makes me furious is the reductive straw figure of "not merely". Whoever said it was "merely xxx" in the first place? Surely not our fellow academics? But we suggest that they are all idiots, narrow thinkers, reductionists. There are epistemologies at play here. Alongside the politics.

It continues: “By contrast, student-written fiction is gloriously flawed, a struggle on the page between what the author is trying to say and what’s actually being said. The prose stumbles in a way reminiscent of a foal learning how to walk: even in their trembling legs I see hints of future grace. Such clumsiness is necessary; its absence would be proof of the foal never having learned to walk.”

@flancian@social.coop yes, Claudia! Brilliant. AI mirror, as in Shannon Vallor’s work: when we see ourselves in the way the responses communicate with us, that’s when we become convinced it’s conscious or brilliant. Maybe you’ve come across this book? Totally worth reading, I think: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-ai-mirror-9780197759066

While we're all talking about how "AI" increases efficiency, has anyone tallied up all the lost seconds, minutes and hours to waiting at pages like this, caused directly by "AI"?

Well, I never thought I'd write an article about defence, or with "military" in the title.

Who said only military officers can deal with uncertainty? On the importance of uncertainty in edtech data visualisations. With @juliane@hci.social

Not #openaccess (they wanted over 4000 EUR, "scandalous", said my library), but some copies here and a preprint is on its way.

We're online! We've been thinking about design and education:

"Which designs design which worlds? Whose designs are we talking about? And whose futures are at stake?"

Be delighted to hear what people think.
