Meanwhile this use is deeply irresponsible. AI generated titles and abstracts draw their text from somewhere, but you don't know where. Using them is a great way to plagiarize other scholars — right where people are most likely to notice.

Overleaf has an AI title generator and AI abstract generator for your papers.

most people want a quick and simple answer to why AI systems encode/exacerbate societal and historical bias/injustice and due to the reductive but common thinking of "bias in, bias out," the obvious culprit often is training data but this is not entirely true 1/

Designing AI interfaces that imitate human conversation is a bad idea. It shapes us in harmful ways as users. In the next phase of AI development, I hope we see more thoughtful interfaces that don’t rely on the deception of fake personableness.

Fake Personableness

The race to find generative AI's GUI is on. Here's why we should avoid the temptation to design our tools to imitate persons.

This is an interesting piece from @hannahritchie.bsky.social about the relative energy demands of data centers and generative AI. Well worth a read if you’re curious about putting these numbers into context.

What’s the impact of artificial intelligence on energy demand?

The International Energy Agency (IEA) thinks we should all chill out a bit.

We need to have a science-wide announcement that LLMs networked together in an ABM is *absolutely not* a useful way to study human collective beahvior.

Asked to comment on impact(s) of AI in education, argued that more than worrying about fraud (an integrity issue) or adaptation to new tools, we should focus on how to educate future developers: shouldn’t we include in ML syllabi the social risks of our work? PT only sicnoticias.pt/especiais/in...

My AI/LLM/ChatGPT syllabus statement. On this topic, does anyone know of a LLM that's trained solely on appropriately licensed data (e.g. everything was consented to or licensed openly)?

Representing as your own work the writing of another person, or the output of an AI/LLM such as ChatGPT, is plagiarism and cause for academic misconduct, which will be reported to the university and result in a grade penalty to be determined by the instructor.

Note that using the work/output of another person/AI is not plagiarism as long as you clearly communicate that outside help was used, but your submission may not meet expectations if it does not demonstrate your personal understanding of the appropriate learning outcome.

For ethical reasons, the instructor discourages the use of AIs or LLMs that have been trained on data that were not licensed for such use. Students are also warned that these products can reflect the biases of the data they are trained on, and may produce content that is sexist, racist, or otherwise inappropriate.
