Last week, I had the chance to present my new work on right-wing propaganda through gen AI vids ☺️ Monte Verità in Ascona, Switzerland. Mountains, a stunning lake, and even palm trees 😍 Easily one of the most beautiful conference venues I’ve been to in a long time.

Was es gibt? Einen Elefanten.

Rosa Schrift. Hintergrund hellgrauer Elefant: Es wird bei jeder neuen Diskussion über Prüfungsformen, KI-Plagiats-Software dies das (und derzeit führen Bildungsinstitutionen viele davon) immer deutlicher, dass uns LLMs einen Riesenelefanten in den Raum gestellt haben.
Er führt uns so klar vor Augen, wie unbrauchbar unser hierarchisches System, das letztlich auf der Bewertung von Leistung basiert, (geworden) ist. Und wir winden uns so sehr. Natürlich müssen Denk- und Schreibprozesse weiter erlernt und geübt werden, niemand zweifelt daran. Aber wir müssen (Zwischen)-Ergebnisse doch nicht ständig und krampfhaft bewerten. Wir könnten die Zeit doch nun auch wirklich dafür nutzen, Studierende beim Besserwerden zu unterstützen. Mich jedenfalls ermüden die ChatGPT-Hausarbeiten ungemein und ich hätte große Freude daran, mit dem Interesse der Beteiligten an Inhalten zu arbeiten und beeindruckende wissenschaftliche Projekte in der Entstehung zu begleiten, statt Kreativität durch künstlich erzeugten Druck zu blockieren.

I’ve been poeming about how my nouns keep conversioning to verbs.

Verb Your Enthusiasm

I recall the first time it circumstanced,
this problem that routines with my words –
I was in the kitchen, plating my food,
when my nouns conversioned to verbs.

Friending others with similar troubles,
we workshopped hard at it for days,
as we dialogued in search of solutions,
and flipcharted the hours away.

I can’t stop myself languaging weirdly.
Are they called nerbs or vouns? I’m not sure.
The doctors cannot antidote me,
while to poem provisions no cure.

Now I diarise each time they’re eventing –
whenever I coffee or Youtube or gift.
I’d podium, too – if I ever won anything,
and it weren’t for those medalling kids.
