Lindsay Brainard, Step Away from the Chatbot: a Letter to a Student about AI and Creativity - PhilPapers

@lindsaybrainard.bsky.social‬ has written a beautiful short paper about the harms to a student who uses AI for a creative assignment. Since it is around 4000 words however, I fear that no student considering cheating will read it. philpapers.org/rec/BRASAF-4

New paper - 'Illusions of memory' - forthcoming in the Asian Journal of Philosophy, as part of the Eurasian Memory Meeting topical collection. Penultimate draft up here:

Evan Thompson’s talk series in Taiwan this June! phil.nycu.edu.tw/post-0213/
@evanthompson.bsky.social

Today at The Memory Palace: John Sutton on tensions between specialization and interdisciplinarity.

If you are working on neuroethics or agency, please have a look at our latest call for papers for a symposium on Joshua May’s book „Neuroethics: Agency in the Age of Brain Science“, which #PhiMiSci will host in 2025, edited by Carolyn Dicey Jennings: philosophymindscience.org/index.php/ph...

#PhiMiSci expresses profound sadness at the passing of Daniel Dennett, a great philosopher and also an esteemed member of our advisory board. His intellect, wit and humor will be greatly missed.

A new article has been published #OpenAccess on #PhiMiSci as part of our current special issue on remembering and imagining: "Remembering trauma in epistemology" from Matthew Frise, in which he explores some surprising effects of psychological trauma on memory: doi.org/10.33735/phi...
