As a part of ESEH NEXTGATe, I am glad that we are once again organizing a writing support program for early-career scholars! Credits to my colleague Mona Bieling for organizing this together with Andrea Gaynor. Although an ESEH initiative, we also accept applicants from other parts of the world.

Makes sense indeed! I'd say that it cannot have regard for truth since it lacks the faculty of judgment. Call it out on bullshit and it just says "I am sorry, you are right" and aligns its argumentation. Making it better at mimicking consciousness does not bring it closer to it.

AI does not "hallucinate," it provides statistically plausible results that sometimes are completely incorrect. I think it is important to recognize that "hallucination" is an anthropomorphizing metaphor. LLMs do not think, although that is what the AI companies want us to think.

I just got back from a workshop on "Multispecies Intellectual History" at the University of Oxford. Philosophy, history, physics, botany, anthropology, art, and other fields were represented in the discussions, and a publication on this is to be expected. Read more here: cas.au.dk/en/umih #envhum

Same here. In most cases it seems to be needless jargon to me. I guess a key tenet of the environmental humanities is that the world is more than human, but that is not a new discovery and it has been written about long before there was a term for it. Ecological thinking, really.

You might know them already, but I think the classics of environmental history still stand, like Donald Worster's Nature's Economy and Carolyn Merchant's The Death of Nature. They have also focused more on the US, like in Merchant's American Environmental History and Worster's Shrinking the Earth.

The "AI" Ghibli images are especially outrageous considering AI's environmental damage vs. Ghibli's conservationist politics. "Princess Mononoke" is about a militant campaign to save the forest. In "Spirited Away" Chihiro frees a river god from trash and pollution.

Finally figured out how easy it is to turn off the annoying "AI Assistant" when reading PDFs in Adobe Acrobat in the browser: the three dots → preferences → uncheck "Enable generate AI feature in Acrobat". AI can be useful, but unwanted assistance is not... Analyzing on my own is how I learn.
