MIT researchers say using ChatGPT can rot your brain. The truth is a little more complicated Like calculators before them, AI tools can raise the bar for what people can achieve – if they’re used the right way.

When it comes to cognitive abilities, ChatGPT is the Emperor‘s new clothes for university students. I do not understand why universities are not taking more active action to collectively counter the problem. #education #sts #hps #media #ai #data #humanities theconversation.com/mit-research...

Marginalia mania: how ‘annotating’ books went from big no-no to BookTok’s next trend Readers are sharing how they write their predictions into novels, colour-code their emotional responses and even gift annotated books to friends. Is it actually fun, or just a bit like homework?

For all the naysayers who predicted the digital death of annotation...

Chicago Sun-Times confirms AI was used to create reading list of books that don’t exist Outlet calls story, created by freelancer working with one of the newpaper’s content partner, a ‘learning moment’

Historians know that incorrect information becomes increasingly hard to fact check over time. We are sleep walking into an age of misinformation as we increasingly rely on AI to think for us.

I'm currently researching the place of science in the early abolitionist movement's moral and legal arguments against enslavement. Today I came across this noteworthy observation:

This is super helpful! Thank you very much. One the doctors I'm research lived in early 19th century New York, so that book will most certainly be relevant. Is there a chapter on Black actors, or are they spread throughout the book?

Just discovered from c 1800 school textbooks that one of the black doctors I'm researching was likely taught ... the history of science! #histsci #histmed #hps #sts

Wonderful to see John Christie and Robert Fox (my external PhD examiner many moons ago) when I was in Oxford this weekend.

Have you published articles on early modern information flows? I’d be keen to see your methodology, because I’m presently doing something very similar for manuscript documents “flowing“ between colonial institutions.
