Considering how late I am for my impending manuscript deadline with Routledge - boy, was I happy to see you post that 😉 #academicwriting
Taylor & Francis Research@tandfresearch.bsky.social · 10mo agoBehind every influential academic publication was a Wednesday morning when the author wasn't sure they could finish. They did. So will you.
I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.
An article that I immensely enjoyed co-writing with a group of fantastic colleagues is out: publications-prairial.fr/encounters-i... In it, we discuss insight from a series of multilingual storytelling workshops we conducted in Ireland.
Building communities and empowering individuals through multilingual storytelling – Encounters in translation
This study focuses on the potential of multilingual storytelling practices as tools for both individual development and for building connections in an urban setting. We present the results of practice...

🤖 "You don't want a #translation that makes a good guess - which is really all you get from AI - when your money or your life is on the line. You want a #translation that understands the nuances that vary between the languages" feat. @andybenzo.bsky.social cnet.com/tech/service... via @cnet.com
AI Can Probably Do Some of Your Work Tasks. That Doesn't Mean It Can Do Your Job
Even for vulnerable jobs like translation and research, that work is more than just the tasks AI may be able to assist with.

Given the immense scarcity of qualified reviewers, this is harming all real scholars. All journals should update their 'author instructions' to state that if it can be shown that a submission is generated with AI, the author will be blacklisted for future submissions to that journal.

The technology in itself is impressive, though obviously not the miracle cure that some people say. But: overhype, poor implementation, good old human greed and lack of understanding of the social context are turning this into a nightmare.
Dare Obasanjo@carnage4life.bsky.social · last yr.MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.
A useful (and a bit daunting) thread for people like me who are updating their syllabi right now 🤦🏻♂️
Elaine Ayers@eayers0.bsky.social · last yr.Yesterday I messed around with GPT + my syllabi: running through sample assignments, readings, getting more info on subjects I'm teaching, etc. so I could get a sense of students might see, and...so much of it was totally wrong, made up, etc. Like, we know this is a thing, but it was so absurd.

Without a humanities degree other subjects don't really make much sense. You can gain technical skill but a humanities degree teaches you the complexities of applying that knowledge. I say that as a lawyer & sociologist. You see things differently—you see them better—in fact, you see them full stop.

Once more for the back seats: LLMs like #chatgpt do not "understand" a word of the answers they give you. They are literally trained to recognise patterns in the data they were given, and come up with realistic-sounding patterns of their own.
