Stop Talking About AI as if It's Human. It's Not

Commentary: Instead of pretending AI is a cognizant being with emotions, let's examine the actual risks and limitations.

Speaking as a white woman, with communities we research it’s so important to not just collect data and leave. We need to also immerse ourselves in those communities, benefitting them however we can. We’re not “giving voice” to people, but we’re uplifting their knowledges and learning. #literacies

So impressed and inspired by the relentless innovation @cleanlined.bsky.social is bringing to compositional design! These pages from Batman dark patterns 4 - with equally smart and compelling storytelling from @danpgwatters.bsky.social. Great stuff all around!

I’m a Journal editor: you don’t send it to a review without information about what the LLM did. Even then, give everything a good read and do your best not to waste review resources. As a reviewer, you can send it back and ask for more information.

@ragnargees.bsky.social Thank you for answering my question about the accuracy of the headline. I teach critical media literacy but can’t always catch half-truths. I am impressed with your country (and others) for standing with Ukraine.
