I wonder how AI as an interpretive companion - assisting a human qualitative researcher or team of qualitative researchers - can be used to protect against some of the problems that are discussed here...

Does any one know if there is a similar picture out there using the new, built-in pipe in R ("|>") associating the R pipe with Magritte's "Ceci n'est pas un pipe"?

Wow, gut gesagt, @ricardalang.eurosky.social
Astrid Deilmann@astriddeilmann.bsky.social · last mo.Danke @ricardalang.eurosky.social Es sind gekränkte Neoliberale wie Ulf Poschardt, die den Kulturkampf forcieren. Ihnen geht es nicht um Freiheit, sondern gegen jede Regulation des Marktes - deswegen machen sie die Demokratie verächtlich. Mit bürgerlich im positiven Sinne hat das nichts zu tun.

While I generally agree with the main point, I do think that AI can be helpful as an (additional) interpretive companion. Often, our aim is not to find something novel but to check the plausibility of our reading of the material against other potential interpretations.
Jess Calarco@jessicacalarco.com · 10mo agoThis thread perfectly explains why AI has little value for qualitative research. Yes, large language models can find patterns in qualitative data. But, they're trained on what we already know. So, they won't find anything surprising. And, surprise is qualitative research's primary value-add.

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 10mo agoAbsolutely right. AI might be able to summarize (poorly) what we currently know, but a major goal of historical research is to find the hidden surprises out there. Let me illustrate …
Wow. There should be a profile of Kingori. The idea that Kenyan scholars are behind the success of a good number of American students should be explored as more than just an AI fallout story.
Mary Cygan@marycygan.bsky.social · last mo.And in weird parallel, NYT doesn't mention Patricia Kingori, the Kenyan scholar who brought this industry to international attention in 2025 with deeper and more complex insight. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
