Honestly, I am absolutely disgusted by academics suggesting that AI can do the reading and writing for you. At a certain point, what you're bragging about is fraud. And in a broader sense, what you're contributing to is the erosion of knowledge and the destruction of trust in academic publishing.
In which @lindsaytedds.bsky.social schools Poilievre on his bad misreading of Adam Smith.
Even if AI could write a novel what problem has been solved? The problem of knowing what you’re reading was written by another person? Who loves reading novels but hates the part where your mind briefly and mysteriously touched another?

now the Ayatollah is scoring off me, oh that's it
"Workflow"? Where do we even start with these idiot bros?

Apparently it's ticking boxes.
Intellectual madlibs.
Tell me you've never set foot in a rare books room or archive without telling me you've never...

"I wrote a thing!"
Well, me and these 75 others.
And most of the work was done by teams of graduate students, most of whom I've never met.
I'd love to see a scientific researcher try to undertake the process, start to finish, of researching, writing, revising, submitting, & revising just one humanities paper.
By themselves. Yes, you do the research on your own— & you do the thinking, reflection, analysis, & the writing. All yourself.

"AI will let us turn PhDs from 4 year degrees into 6 month degrees!"
Literally shitting on the part that makes it intellectual development. It requires things like *reading* for yourself and *writing* for yourself. Those aren't chores, they're part of skills acquisition and critical development.
"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."

Ah! I knew it must be one of them.
I did my Compulsory Research Project (McGill's alternative to comps year) on the literary annuals.
I definitely had a short section on this poem.
This is from The Keepsake, isn't it?
Hi #EarlyModern Bluesky - did you know that someone brilliant has built working printing presses using Lego and they are trying to get enough supporters so that Lego will release it as a kit?
They look so cool!
