Today I realized I have purchased my last #coach handbag. I have used their purses nearly exclusively for over 30 years...but my latest batch have not held up like my older ones. I fear the quality is why ... because at my age now, I am much nicer than I was some 20+ years ago.

As AI becomes more conversational, one thing remains clear: people can tell the difference between sounding empathetic and being empathetic. Designing AI that genuinely connects means understanding not just language, but human perception.

Bots and Misinformation Spread on Social Media: Implications for COVID-19 As of March 2021, the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been responsible for over 115 million cases of COVID-19 worldwide, resulting in over 2.5 million deaths. As the virus spread exponentially, so did its media ...

Reflecting on my 2021 study on bots spreading misinformation, it's evident that automated accounts (& people who act like bots) continue to influence public discourse. Understanding and mitigating misinformation remains crucial for informed decision-making.
