AI may help preserve endangered languages, but without community input, indigenous and regional dialects risk disappearing from the digital world. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/09/world/ai-wont-save-dying-languages/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #chatgpt #llms #ai #languages #openai

Never thought em dashes will make me question a student's first draft of a review but no thanks to #openAI and #chatgpt I had to leave comments about either adding a disclosure statement if the students used any #AI or #LLM, or to avoid using em dashes altogether 🫠 😭

What makes something data? Some thoughts on that question, and how answers to it help us understand AI hype:

"Big data in computational linguistics

"This off-loading of the concerns of dataset construction to a different group of researchers and culture of disdain for data and those who get their hands dirty with it partly set the conditions, I believe, for work on language technology to come unmoored from scientific foundations." --Emily M.

New Cornell study: “Over four months, LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioural levels.” — what’s the betting that your ability to code is eroded by AI use as well?

I mainly use LLMs as a kind of interactive documentation, and never for producing code. That’s mainly because even tools such as Claude Code have coding habits I despise. But keeping my coding brain sharp seems like another good reason to be cautious.

Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task

This study explores the neural and behavioral consequences of LLM-assisted essay writing. Participants were divided into three groups: LLM, Search Engine, and Brain-only (no tools). Each completed three sessions under the same condition. In a fourth session, LLM users were reassigned to Brain-only group (LLM-to-Brain), and Brain-only users were reassigned to LLM condition (Brain-to-LLM). A total of 54 participants took part in Sessions 1-3, with 18 completing session 4. We used electroencephalography (EEG) to assess cognitive load during essay writing, and analyzed essays using NLP, as well as scoring essays with the help from human teachers and an AI judge. Across groups, NERs, n-gram patterns, and topic ontology showed within-group homogeneity. EEG revealed significant differences in brain connectivity: Brain-only participants exhibited the strongest, most distributed networks; Search Engine users showed moderate engagement; and LLM users displayed the weakest connectivity. Cognitive activity scaled down in relation to external tool use. In session 4, LLM-to-Brain participants showed reduced alpha and beta connectivity, indicating under-engagement. Brain-to-LLM users exhibited higher memory recall and activation of occipito-parietal and prefrontal areas, similar to Search Engine users. Self-reported ownership of essays was the lowest in the LLM group and the highest in the Brain-only group. LLM users also struggled to accurately quote their own work. While LLMs offer immediate convenience, our findings highlight potential cognitive costs. Over four months, LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels. These results raise concerns about the long-term educational implications of LLM reliance and underscore the need for deeper inquiry into AI's role in learning.

Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.

There is a rush for AI companies to team up with space launch/satellite companies to build datacenters in space. TL;DR: It's not going to work.

After seeing some #AI #privacy posts about #ChatGPT claiming to not be able to see your location, IP, or anything I decided to test it.

With no account or history, I asked it a few questions, and sure enough, it not only knows exactly where I am but is gaslighting me into thinking it was pure coincidence.

A friend followed the same instructions and got the same results in his location as well.

Yikes.

One of this article's many great points: Using #GenAI is a "metacognitive mirage".

> When participants used #ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed [-47%] in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, and critical reasoning. Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engaged
> Students aren’t just learning less; their brains are learning not to learn.

If you want a specific example of why many researchers in machine learning and natural language processing find the idea that LLMs like ChatGPT or Claude are "intelligent" or "conscious" is laughable, this article describes one:
