I agree with @EvanSelinger & @BrettFrischmann's questions about ChatGPT's moral function. I can't help but mention my recent Opinion piece on society's conflict with ChatGPT's aesthetic & professional role. Will it always be slightly shameful to adopt it?

@SethDuin @FirstAvenue It was an incredible show!

[Seth Duin @SethDuin]

THE UP N UPS formed on Wednesday, wrote songs on Thursday, and tonight have our debut in the @firstavenue main room. I’m so happy with how much fun it’s been collaborating with these musicians and minds. Music at 7:30, we play at 9!

Excited to see my new book is out with @routledgebooks! Augmentation Technologies & Artificial Intelligence in Technical Communication @AHDuin & @isabel_pedersen "we are in the midst of an augmentation technology craze fueled partly by a blind trust in AI" https://t.co/OnkSwtfIGs

“The problem here seems to be that we thought that creativity, per se, was the last bastion, the line in the sand, that would stop machines from replacing someone's job," said Mike Seymour, co-founder of Motus Lab U if Sydney Reuters https://t.co/D1eOQoOH7j

“Too early to tally the enabled & the endangered, or to gauge the overall impact on labor demand & productivity. But it seems clear that artificial intelligence will impinge on work in different ways than previous waves of technology” ⁦@lydiadepillis⁩ https://t.co/zzcDReSsHJ

We wrote about the coming era of automated writing in 2021 with our book Writing Futures @AHDuin & @isabel_pedersen Now, the lure of ‘automated reading’ pushes people toward more immersive augmentation technologies https://t.co/rTLk9VhSNX

So true @vdignum "Collaboration rather than competition lies at the core of successful & meaningful AI research beyond disciplines. This stands in stark contrast with current systems of research assessments that valorise, prioritise and reward competition & individual excellence"

[Isabel Pedersen @isabel_pedersen]

GPT-2, 4 years before #ChatGPT had a caveat: “Due to our concerns about malicious applications of the technology, we are not releasing the trained model. As an experiment in responsible disclosure, we are instead releasing a much smaller model for researchers to experiment with”
