“Universities that encourage students to use #ChatGPT? I’m stunned to hear something like that.”
Luc Steels – the “godfather of #AI research in Belgium” –is one of the Belgian signatories of a recent open letter to “stop the uncritical adoption of AI technologies in academia”, initiated by @olivia and @Iris.
I spoke with Steels, computational linguist Katrien Beuls, and computer scientist @wim_v12e, and others, about their resistance against #genAI in academia.
In 2 weeks: R + AI two-day online conference sponsored by the R Consortium. Tickets $25/$50/$70.
Presentations include Keeping LLMs in Their Lane, Reviving Forgotten Code with LLMs, and Analyzing LM Evaluations

WTF #Firefox ?? Who told you to change my default search engine? And for some #genAI slop machine when it was originally "NO AI Duck-Duck go"?!? Pretty clear that I DO NOT WANT AI
#Perplexity ? Yes, I am Perplexed that you would decide to impose this on me, I was already on the verge of quitting but I guess this will have to be the last straw.
Is it possible to get one's donations back?
Clearly I am not the only one having this problem:

Good morning from Elsevier. When I open my inbox to be greeted by this, I know the time has come to leave academia. It is rotten to the core, and totally lost sight of its *telos*. Read the article if you like. It is a lost delusion. States "AI is a tool" multiple times. It's not. Its a pattern matching text generator. (Jon Dron wrote a great piece on this recently.)

Regarding the last boost: Google has been found to be an illegal monopoly multiple times, and so far no judge has had the courage to impose a significant enough penalty that Google actually changes its ways. Its monopoly behavior is frequent, obvious, and damaging.
Anyway, check your Google Drive, if you use that: go to drive, then click the gear. Choose Settings -> Manage Apps, and make sue "Use by default" is checked OFF on everything you don't like, especially Gemini (Google's AI that they're pushing on everyone). This was added and turned on by default for most people, it seems.

GREAT read on how generative AI might affect our knowledge and skills once we start relying on it to perform intellectual work. There's historical context far beyond how calculators affect our ability to do math.
"The hard part is deciding, without nostalgia and inertia, which skills are keepers and which are castoffs. . . . Surely we have some say in whether LLMs expand our minds or shrink them." - Kwame Anthony Appiah

 #GenAI
Die #KI hat ein ungleich größeres Missbrauchspotenzial.
Da ist zum Einen  #GenAI und  #fakenews 
Wir werden schon jetzt darauf trainiert, Allem erstmal zu misstrauen. Wahrheit und Fakten gibt es gefühlt nicht mehr. Alles muss (oft leider zu Recht) hinterfragt werden. Allerdings zerstört das auch massiv Vertrauen, auch in ehemals verlässliche Quellen. Ob in der Wissenschaft, den Medien oder der Politik.
Und es besteht die Gefahr, dass die Leute den Shortcut "Emotion" statt Rationalität verwenden.
