@JuliaEMcCoy Don’t you think the fact that a product couldn’t exist without misappropriation is an indictment of that product rather than an invitation to abandon consent & agency as governing principles for society? You’re so close to getting it. GenAI as it exists today shouldn’t exist. 1/_

As OpenAI and Meta introduce LLM-driven searchbots, I'd like to once again remind people that neither LLMs nor chatbots are good technology for information access.
A thread, with links:

Episode 3 is here! Everyone's Writing with AI (Except Lisa Corrigan!)
We got to talk to the brilliant @DrLisaCorrigan about her research, her aversion to policing students, and the encroachment of big tech on colleges and universities across the US.

Working on a digital project connected to rhetoric, technology, and/or pedagogy? Consider submitting your work to Kairos! The Kairos editorial team is actively seeking submissions for both our peer-reviewed and editorially reviewed sections.
Ugh.
What does “critical” mean in the context of AI??
It has to be more than “asking questions”, right? I want folk to consider rejecting AI, not simply accommodating its least objectionable tendencies.
This is not a subtweet.
AI, in its current and projected incarnations, is NOT convivial.
By accommodating its premise of instrumental cognition/predictive capacity in [fill in the blank] industry, you ALSO accept its extractive and exploitative nature.
Where are the Luddites when I need them?
Come share resources, pedagogical practices, policy ideas, ask questions, and offer suggestions about GenAI refusal, resistance, and rethinking in writing studies and higher education!

Today, @UW sent out a survey asking community members to share our thoughts about the recommendations of the University's AI task force. It's a push-poll, that doesn't even define "AI", and the recommendations are appaling.
In that light, reupping this:

This is fucking disgusting:
@character_ai is using my murdered niece as the face of a video game AI without her dad's permission. He is very upset right now. I can't imagine what he's going through.
Please help us stop this sort of terrible practice.

The gentleman below is concerned that my criticisms of LLMs seem repetitive. And he is right - they are!
All the machine learning community has to do to keep me from complaining about hallucinations, boneheaded errors, problems of bias, reasoning, planning and alignment is 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘴. 🙏
Generative AI hype is fueling a massive build out of hyperscale data centers. It has nothing to do with the public, but realizing an extreme vision of the future being pushed by tech billionaires.
DATA VAMPIRES, a new four-part series from Tech Won’t Save Us, begins next Monday.
