Hi, Andrew. Your post is like the first line of a novel I would love to read.

Just trying to understand: Do you mean that industries should be comparing effectiveness of the use of AI? Or that they should be comparing its output?

I just read the piece on imposter syndrome. Very powerful. I’d love to spend time with the whole volume.

This looks so helpful. Thank you so much!!

I’m gathering readings to share with students. Were there any you used in the course you would recommend? Thanks for the reply!!

I use the Amazon Alexa app’s assistive tech feature to read Kindle ebooks out loud to me. So, both? :)

Does he get any benefit from assistive tech? I can’t read long form writing without it, myself, which causes me to overestimate its value to others.

I can tell I’m going to keep thinking about this for a long time. Thanks for that. Genuinely.

That made my brain a happy brain.

Have you found articles or essays about AI that would be a good fit for the text? I’m designing a first year composition course on the topic of AI and would love to know what other folks are sharing with their students!

Have any First Year Composition instructors designed a course ABOUT AI for freshmen? If so, can we chat? What are you having your students read? #ai #firstyearcomposition #teachingwriting

I am a photographer who would be genuinely delighted to collaborate with a researcher! I don’t have the qualifications to apply for this grant but would love to do this sort of thing nevertheless!

Historical Newspapers from the 1700's-2000s The largest online newspaper archive. Used by millions every month for historical research, family history, crime investigations, journalism, and more.

Not recommending this because I haven’t evaluated it myself, but I am eager to explore: My local public library account can be used access newspapers.com, which apparently maintains extensive digital archives of local newspapers.

This collection of articles is so helpful. Thank you!!

I like this! I worry that AI is like a Doomsday Dunning-Kruger machine, though. While it definitely excels at structure and style, it presupposes that there is such a thing as a universal structure and style. And rather confidently! Is there? And is its output representative?

First post. Here goes. AI is pretty good at summarizing text. Developing writers frequently struggle to read what’s actually on the page in their own writing.

Can AI help students develop better mental representations of their own texts?

I love this a lot. Students really do want to write well. But they’ve been taught that, above all, writing well means writing without error. What if AI can help show exactly how terrible error-free writing can be?
