I moved my Bluesky account over to Eurosky because its probably a much better choice if youre in Europe, and fancy not being on the main US hosted Bluesky servers.

![Sweden is championing a return to books and paper instead of screens in schools ... going back to basics, reintroducing physical textbooks, limiting screen time, and investing heavily in school libraries. "We jumped on that [digital] train very fast, ... but more people realise that we should not have done that," says education spokesman for Sweden's Liberal Party.
"The impact on students, on how schools work, has been very bad, so we agree that it was a mistake, but we're changing it back,". Sweden's international test scores are falling compared to other nations, and there's growing concern about the impact of screens on pupils' concentration.
In a nation where the vast majority of pupils have their own phone before they turn ten, scientists say there could be implications for young children's development.
"Too much screen during this very critical developmental phase can essentially impact your language development, your cognitive development, impulse control," says Sissela Nutley, a neuroscientist who runs digital health programmes in schools.
But not everyone agrees with going back to books.
"We can't go back wishing for a school system that was like the 1950s," says Linnéa Stenliden, professor of education at Linköping University.
She argues that the new policy could bring about a digital divide in a world that has moved away from books and paper, with some children understanding new technologies better than others. "Digital competence is actually needed," she says.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mp2jobwrmu3r2inbghe7o6cz/bafkreidrqgle4mngzrpi4dw2j53fslocvsxdcx5yz5bpge5ktxvvyd5ofu)
![I regret to have to inform you that I cannot review work that is partially processed by a product that in my opinion fails to meet standards of scientific integrity that I need to comply with.
“ChatGPT-[version redacted]” is a non-transparent proprietary product created with corporate biases, through exploitative labour practices, violating authorship rights, and having known psychological, societal, and environmental harmful impact. Moreover, notwithstanding the hype that OpenAI has been fuelling, a product like ChatGPT cannot [redacted], because [redacted] is a cognitive capacity, and the product has none. All in all, the use of ChatGPT for scientific purposes, in my honest opinion, clashes with core scientific integrity principles such as honesty, scrupulousness, transparency, responsibility, and independence.
Therefore, I need to decline this invitation to review.
To better understand my position, I recommend the following papers from me and my collaborators (see my signature for more resources):

![screenshot of a section of text from an academic paper. GenAI is different. It is not merely an application of the logic of print literacy. It emergedfrom the internet era, relying upon massive datasets generated through the continuous,collective ‘chatter’ of online human communication. Unlike its predecessors, generative AIdoes not operate strictly through predefined rules. Instead, it learns patterns from vast un-structured data, offering context-sensitive, open-ended responses. From an epistemologicalperspective, this brings new challenges.
