There's a difference between calling out AI "tells" because they are AI and calling them out because they are repetitive, misleading, and corny. The "its not x its y" feels like the latter.

As a lot of people expected, it's fun to see new aesthetics emerge in a period of AI influence. There are purposeful slop 'narratives' like Fruit Love Island, but there's also stuff on the other end like Angine de poitrine that's so purposefully human.

I'm seeing longer and longer blog posts and facebook posts, plagued by the idea that longer = better. The mere generation of text is easy! The careful edit is what stands out.

Last night I had students use infinitemac.org to play with early word processors, specifically to see how hard it is to format an MLA style paper. Where is the heading? What are these fonts? It was a fun exercise to help us talk about interfaces and affordances.

I've got a new article out in CDQ! "Commemoration and Context: The Death Counter Graphics of COVID19." I'm pretty proud of it! I argue that "death counters" act as a separate class of graphic than other kinds of risk management visualizations. You can find it here: cdq.sigdoc.org/wp-content/u...

In one class we've been focusing on narratives of AI + English for the past few weeks, and today I had them make little slides with one prediction and a descriptive image. Oh the chaos of their predictions. 😅 Students are just the best and I'm so glad I get to work with them.

One AI thing sticking in my craw is that students deserve to know if professors are using AI to generate course materials or assess their work. If we want students to be transparent, this has to be a two-way conversation.

sometimes while searing meat or vegetables, you'll end up with browned bits of food that stick to the bottom of the pan. this is known as "fond." unfortunately there is no way to remove this hideous substance and you will need to throw your pan away
