Can we please stop acting like we have no choice other than to accept AI in everything? All this "It's here, just accept it" nonsense. Lots of bad things have been "here" and gone. Saying no is a thing. No matter what the half dozen billionaires behind this whole scheme need us to believe.
And just to remind people, GamerGate wasn’t an anomaly. It was a symptom.
I can wait to read this because the things I've seen people say about your all's brilliant stochastic parrot paper is maddening fr
This happens to me a lot--probably anytime I give a talk about refusing generative AI there are questions like what about this or that use case and it feels like these people are missing the point
A little offended Grammarly didn't make a sloppelganger of me
This is part of a pattern I've started to notice: There are people out there who are loudly committed to off-loading their work to chatbots and come seeking my validation for their position.

if anyone is interested, here are some talking points we've put together on the CU ChatGPT deal, for the sake of educating our friends, colleagues, students, staff, admin, etc. docs.google.com/document/d/1...
You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.
I'm so proud of my profession.
No mealy-mouthed nonsense about "ethical use" or whatever. It's the goddamned Torment Nexus. There is, and can be, no ethical use of the goddamned Torment Nexus.
love this! i just wrote a draft AI policy for Depave that supports our staff in refusing "AI" notetaker bots in video meetings, and outlines a move away from use of AI for the storytelling we do as an organization. seeing organized and successful efforts like this one sure puts wind in the sails!
yessss
I'm glad to see this statement, it will support faculty and programs who need to justify to their institutions why they aren't diving face-first into the sloppy world of AI writing
Nature is healing...
All hope is not lost. Perhaps those of us who have been trying to teach and evaluate student writing for the past 2-3 years will be heard despite all the relentless gaslighting and harmful hype.
I find these ideas complementary as both are about respecting students as people & prioritizing their learning over judging them or trying to exert control.
I can see how the flow is confusing (authors were working on a tight timeline!). The point is that supporting students' right to opt out doesn't demand policing their behavior or treating them as potential cheaters (as allow-or-ban approaches are often placed in opposition to one another)+
Thank. Goodness.
Listen to the writing teachers.
I'm really grateful to those who worked on the resolution and to *everyone* who showed up and showed out!!
College writing teachers have spoken, y'all.
The CCCC resolution affirming students' and teachers' right to refuse generative AI in the writing classroom passed by an overwhelming majority at the #4C26 Annual Business Meeting this past Friday, March 6.

'If generative AI is shaped by power, politics and principle, then education cannot treat it as neutral infrastructure. It is not simply a tool that reflects human bias. It is a technology aligned to particular visions of the future.' 3/3
Awesome, congratulations! 🎊
I think one way you can celebrate International Women's Day every day is through your citation practices, which are political and pedagogical choices, and that's my addition to today's trending topic.
OMG!!!!!!
It's an interesting professional decision to do this after saying nothing during the comment period
