iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

The past few weeks, I read through probably hundreds of pages of AI generated literary analyses as I compiled files for allegations of academic misconduct in my courses this term. Today, I read the abstract of a peer-reviewed article and saw all the same stylistic markers.

To check if it spat out something like the paper I was marking, I plugged my prompt for the assignment (a term project about disabled content creators on social media) into ChatGPT. It immediately produced the generic response the student submitted, and then it followed that up with this:

ChatGPT writes, "If you want, tell me: which creators you actually followed (or want to pretend you followed *eyeballs*) ...and I can help you plug them directly into your draft so it sounds natural and specific.

One of the most important things settlers who are committed to reconciliation can do today is to stand up to and call out denialist tactics. My colleague @seancarleton.bsky.social alongside Daniel Heath Justice explain more here: theconversation.com/truth-before...

Residential school denialism is the rejection or misrepresentation of basic facts about residential schools to undermine truth and reconciliation efforts.

Put less intelligently, the objection to the so-called AI boom is not about the technology being shitty (although it is). It’s about the shitty people who are using their shit technology to treat other people like shit.

The system I developed in grad school for saving and organizing pdfs of 2ndry and primary research is no longer serving me (probably because the "system" is equivalent to the red-string conspiracy theory meme). What do you folks do for keeping stuff logically organized and easily findable?

🧪 How many times and in what different ways do we need confirmation that genAI is crap for anything except the simplest tasks? *Because it doesn't read, or comprehend, or think*. (also, hilariously, it's the same AI Oxford Uni has just paid some huge sum to licence for all staff & students)

Screen grab of article text:
"Science

The results were mixed. The LLM did
summarize scientific fndings in
language that was accessible to
nonexperts it avoided technical terms
and jargon, for example). It also
effectively summed up commentary
content, such as Science's Policy Forums, for a lay audience. However, it tended to sacrifice accuracy for simplicity. The
ChatGPT Plus summaries required
rigorous fact-checking by SciPak writers.
Also, extensive editing for hyperbole was
needed. For example, ChatGPT Plus had
a fondness for using the word
"groundbreaking." It also struggled to
highlight more than one result from
multifaceted studies. When asked to

summarize two papers at once, it could
only cover the first of the two submitted.
It ultimately defaulted to jargon if
challenged with research particularly
dense in information, detail, and
complexity."

For the avoidance of doubt, this is just a silly pun that amused me. I do not wish plagiarism (or heretical pelagianism) upon any university during this crisis era in UK higher education. But I do find it astonishing that AI is being rolled out without the slightest concern for consequences

You know you can just not use AI, right? You can make a choice not to be part of this. Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it. You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

There are a lot of complicated reasons that colleges are making decisions about in-house AI or corporate partnerships, but what I have not heard AT ALL is any initiatives involving strengthening labor protections for faculty or improving pay as we are expected to re-skill in new tools.

Those of us who were disabled prior to Covid felt hope when the pandemic hit. Hope for a more inclusive society. For chronic illness research to advance faster because Long Covid was too big to ignore. Instead we’ve ended up with fascists cutting all research funding. The grief is real.

Of the multitudinous joys ChatGPT has stolen from us, I truly miss the opportunity to watch students improve their writing abilities over the course of a term. Far too many students deny themselves the chance to learn from a low grade, resorting to generative AI rather than striving for real growth.

About to start working on a draft that I haven't touched in 2-3 years. I'm terrified. Will I remember anything from the hours of research I put in after abandoning it for so long? Does anyone have any advice or experience doing something like this? Or do most people leave abandoned things abandoned?

Today's marking motivation was brought to me by a note from my husband, cuddles from my dog, and brilliance from my students.

Earlier in my career, I tried to get academic men to talk about this. Didn’t really work. There was one panel on parenting at a major conference in which the only two men in the full room were me, a panelist, and a (gay) friend who is not a parent and doesn’t want to be one.

“The pattern of underspending across Canadian provinces suggests both an ideological motive and a certain degree of coordination amongst conservative premiers. Is the push for healthcare privatization, then, a calculated move, fueled by the concerted hollowing out of our provincial systems?”
