New: Tension at the Associated Press over use of AI. One of the AP newsroom leaders leading the company's AI initiatives told staff that many editors preferred an AI-written article to a human one, and told them when it comes to using AI in the newsroom "resistance is futile."

"It is vital to remember that it is the words and actions of all members of the scientific community—universities, journals, societies, associations, activists, and scientists—that form the collective voice of science, not any one statement," writes H. Holden Thorp in a new #ScienceEditorial. https://t.co/beRLPFfgvD

@HoppyKercheval “Resigned “ might be a good 5th option

@Jason33551057 @matlea25303 @HoppyKercheval Astonishing. How many actual players have endorsed his return?

@TheSignalCaller I did some years living in Lewisburg while my sister lived in Garret County. I visited her often, and I was grateful for the drive through your part of the state.

Often when I ask a chatbot to do, say, a sample abstract for a talk, my first reaction is "Whoa, it's really pretty good, it's onto things I missed." Then after I spend some time considering, my take is "It's kind of garbage. But it got me started writing my own thing."

Read down through the posts by the @TheKiffness for one model of contemporary creativity, writing process, circulation—

@Steve_R_Price Yes. Been thinking about this one, too. I see a shift taking place in our mission.

great rhetorical analysis—word choices and their contexts. The evidence doubles as argument—very sly. But a question: how possible is it to use such a politically specific essay as a laboratory for instruction in methods of rhetorical analysis? https://t.co/zpAIzJRPZf

@NewYorker @chaykak You could use the generic pronoun “they.” It’s okay, I swear.

@sureshcanax Hooray! Well done, Penn State!

Provocative perspective/s on class, age, and power. What this piece provoked for me included genuine nausea. There’s little news, little we didn’t already know, but as Tina Brown says here, it’s the photos that bring the visceral to the story.

“Dafydd [Jones]’s brilliant evocation of a time and a class only seem more potent today, when we know that so many of the moneyed twits in his ’80s portfolio ended up running the country, as they always have,” Tina Brown writes. https://t.co/5ZwdaKMQ5b

"AI detectors are still very inaccurate and not worth using because of the high degree of false positives and false negatives, and the bias towards falsely labeling non-native speakers’ human writing as AI." With links. https://t.co/Ro66pgXQgf

“It’s not the cult of pedagogy which is the problem. It is the cult of efficiency which is driving almost all of the pedagogy & professional development these days. [S]ince efficiency needs codification, that also has made the grip of efficiency tighter.” https://t.co/asoFTUx2my

@tbertramgallant Got it —- thanks

[Rebecca Moore Howard @rmhoward]

@tbertramgallant Wait—the grades have to be proven honest before they have significance? I’m missing something, surely.
