Well that didn't take long. Gemini 3 Pro and Claude 4.5 Opus can both recognize underlined text and re-transcribe CA transcripts from screenshots. Gemini is more accurate but still makes some mistakes. I gave them a transcript from Clayman (2013) with lots of complex overlap as a test.

We've now entered the era of AI-generated infographics. I asked Gemini to analyse a screenshot of a data extract from Clayman (2013) and to create an infographic. This is what it came up with.

I asked ChatGPT o3 to replicate the findings of Pomerantz (1984). I gave it a summary and a set of 10 transcripts (NB). Results were mixed: the evidence it presented was clear in some cases, but less so in others, and some observations were superficial. drive.google.com/file/d/1l4rM...

I gave ChatGPT o3 and Claude Opus transcripts from the NB corpus (publicly available on TalkBank) and asked them to "find a something", i.e., to identify a phenomenon in the data to study. The results are less impressive than the conceptual acrobatics in their PhD proposals. 🧵👇

I asked five AIs to draft PhD proposals in conversation analysis. On one level, this is a simple thought experiment: what might an AI do if it went to grad school? On another, it gives us a glimpse of a near-future in which AI guides human inquiry. 🧵👇

Another excellent reason to attend the #YorCCA conference - Prof Mondada is that rare thing, a genuine world authority, in this case on the multi-modal analysis of behaviour & action (and I mean multi-modal, from touch to smell and everything in between). Not to be missed.
