People are reading AI-generated synopses of books and then claiming they read 100 books in a book. This is how the abolition of books began in Fahrenheit 451: classics were condensed into five-minute summaries for those too busy to do the reading. Later came the burnings.

It’s actually inexcusable for the leader of the Democratic Party not to endorse his own party’s duly elected nominee for the mayorship of the city he lives in. Failed clown car of a controlled opposition

If you want the literature in translation you love to have a future, you have to fight for graduate language and culture programs at American universities right now. You all like Jenny Erpenbeck? Kenzaburo Oe? Han Kang? Go to the mat for German, Japanese, Korean, and more.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

@ae_stallings It is being deliberately inflammatory, uncharitable, and exclusionary to innovation. It’s being a poetic Luddite. And, to address her attempt at reframing her statements (which I have screenshotted below), part of the nature of received forms is that they can evolve.

[William Brown @nworBmailliW]

@ae_stallings That said, to dismiss one of Diane Seuss’s poems from FRANK:SONNETS as not only being a sonnet (which the poem unquestionably was, at least as much as Greer’s poem you have quote tweeted) but as not being poetry is not “[stirring] up a little lively controversy.”

This isn’t really a paradox. People who understand what cigarettes do are also less likely to smoke them.

Can't even describe how much I hate what AI has done to the process of grading student work. I hate finding it, I hate the paranoia it fosters, I hate the confrontations with students who have used it. Nothing else in my experience has ever changed my job this much for the worse
