Many of us probably hope that we’ll get back to normal when the #genAI bubble bursts, but this isn’t going to happen. In academia, genAI *does* work, in the sense of: for many people it solves a lot of problems, and removes the need for like doing homework, reading, writing, learning, and, yes, thinking. Who cares whether its “ethical” or whatever, everybody’s using it!

How the global fish trade is spreading 'forever chemicals' around the world
Eating fish may well be good for you, but it carries a hidden risk of exposure to so-called "forever chemicals." A new study published in the journal Science has revealed that the global seafood trade is acting as a massive delivery system for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), industrial pollutants that persist in the environment for decades.

Donald Trump has bizarrely claimed he didn’t approve of the massive ICE raid of a Hyundai manufacturing plant in Georgia.
“I was very much opposed,”
the MAGA leader told reporters aboard Air Force One,
en route to Japan as part of his wider diplomatic tour of Asia.
Hyundai is a major South Korean car manufacturer.

»Fakt ist, dass es in der deutschen #Wirtschaft derzeit eine massive Unzufriedenheit mit der ökonomischen Lage sowie der Politik der #Bundesregierung gibt. Die Versuchung ist da, in dieser akuten Krisensituation zu sagen: Dieses ganze politische Gerede ist kontraproduktiv, wir brauc…

And here’s what I’m trying to get at: when the bubble bursts, many “AI” “applications” will disappear, but #genAI is here to stay in academia.

Some people now argue that LLMs are useless. I disagree; they can be very useful if you take them as what they are: models of language that generate text on the basis of some given text. As such, they can be useful for a wide range of text-related tasks, including assisting with writing. And the more formulaic the genre, the better they work obviously. This is part of the reason why they are so popular with students, and in academia more generally.
