I like this notetaking example. it is a good case of how gender works. Notetaking has never been about producing a transcript. It is a bureaucratic skill in the 20th c. organixarion because it is SENSEMAKING. Those women socialized to take notes? They have been doing men’s metacognition for them

Notetaking in meetings is tiny case in point - used to be some predictable social assumptions who would do it; now anyone can offer to do ”notetaking” by turning on the AI listener. Further interesting scenario is human recollection / notes (taken by habit by a person) conflict with AI summary

Since I hear it is almost time to start thinking about the fall semester (I know! whisper it!) I wrote you an article to help you think about what you are actually hoping to do with your in-class digital assignments and what their futures will be www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

Googling pseudonymous early modern tracts now often produces a hallucinated scholarly attribution. At first I would check the evidence, wondering if I'd missed something. Here's an example of how it makes up a scholarly consensus on attribution: Robert Parsons, Matthew Grove, Anthony Munday...

this time the AI attributes it to Munday. Here, it's printed by Shakespeare's dad. Here it's William Covell.

Delighted that today my #DHSI2026 "DH Leadership" course cohort introduced me to the DH2015 talk "Has Anyone Seen a Woman?" (speakola.com/ideas/deb-ve...) by @bestqualitycrab.bsky.social. Loved the whole thing, but esp the shot at the end where you can see who is clapping and who is NOT 😮
