Works in Berlin on Humboldt (the traveler), digital scholarly editions and digitization workflows in Global North/Global South relations. He sometimes gets stuck in the ladder. But that's ok. Prefers constelaciones multilinguales. See also tobiaskraft.de

3/3 So perhaps the key question is not: AI or no AI? It is: What can we delegate — and what must we still do ourselves to preserve judgment, learning and cognitive sovereignty, especially where we lack domain knowledge? More here: kiundedition.hypotheses.org/309

2/3 “Cognitive debt” frames thinking in economic terms: investment, cost, return, liability. It also individualizes the problem. What may be at stake is something else: epistemic self-efficacy — knowing why we trust a result, and how to correct it.

1/3 🔎🤖 A recent MIT study on LLM-assisted essay writing speaks of “cognitive debt”: less cognitive engagement now may mean long-term costs later. I find the empirical question important. But I’m not convinced by the metaphor of debt itself.

I've been thinking about what LLMs do to our scholarly practice — not just what they can do for it. 🔎🤖 New on KI & Edition: cognitive offloading, epistemic confidence & the question of “cognitive sovereignty”. kiundedition.hypotheses.org/309

I'm not quite sure if this is a moment of eXile or migration, with the elephant in the room and all... the blue sky everybody is seeing here seems to be a bit anglocentric IMHO. Nobody's fault, I get that. But not quite what should be happening if we want to move forward.
