Another ‘good’ example of the McDonaldization of qualitative research !

Google's NotebookLM is the current best "wow this is amazing & useful" demo of AI

Here I gave it the entire text of my book, it turned it into a podcast, a study guide, FAQ, timeline & quite accurate chat

Listen to the first few minutes of the "podcast." Seriously, just listen.

No. This is not acceptable.

The methods section is the single most important part of a scientific paper.

If those details are relegated to supplementary materials, then it's not a scientific paper in a scientific journal.

Impressionante, este grito de revolta, desesperado de alguém que sofre na pele os efeitos do discurso xenófobo anti-imigração.
“Eu faço tudo direitinho!”, repete.

AI’s “infinite iterations are pure veneer: bloodless and gutless, serviceable furniture made of the deforested expanse of human experience,” writes novelist @rachelkhong. “A large language model doesn’t require experience, because it has consumed ours.”

@SBMTGDev I’d also add specific to Arena: Opponent playing 100 cards never had to mulligan and has perfect curve.

I’m in Portland, OR. They’ve got this homeless encampment that’s sanctioned by the city. These things are nicer than tents and the whole thing is cleaner and safer than other encampments. But it also manages to be sad and disturbing in its own way. . .

Google Scholar has been flooded with research papers containing AI-generated text.

Look up phrases like "An an AI langauge model," "I don't have access to real-time data," "As of my last knowledge update"... and you will see hundreds of papers with text generated by ChatGPT.

These papers have been published not just by predatory journals.

Even journals by established academic publishers like Elsevier are publishing papers with AI-generated content.

Clearly, academics are using ChatGPT to generate content for their papers.

But this is not the whole story...
