A potentially silly question, but I just cannot find a link to or mention of this anywhere: Where can we access the full #ica26 papers to read? Thanks! @icahdq.bsky.social

Extending our #ICA26 visit to Cape Town because #Delta flight DL211 was CANCELLED. Waiting for Delta to step up and take care of its 450 stranded passengers. No water. No dinner.

Hey #ica26, I recently wrote a little something that I believe might be interesting to many. Over years I tried to find a way to properly keep up to date with new journal publications across those journals that are most important to me... (1/n)

Me, having wrapped up the rest of my reviews due this year: OK, no more reviews! I'm already over my fair share.* Journal editor: This is so relevant to your current work and they cite you and you're my top choice for a reviewer. Me: Ok, fine. You got me 😅

Yeah, I can see that. And/or a "I admitted to some use of it, so I can get away with more." Not that I can prove that of course, though I did just review another article with a GenAI statement, that I suspected was entirely AI-generated with only light human editing...

Today I reviewed my first manuscript with a GenAI declaration. I'm sure other articles I've reviewed used GenAI, but not with official statements. I know this is the path forward in declaring AI work, but it's also leaving me curious where the human/AI line is in this writing, and where it matters.
