In this new @ctp-leeds.bsky.social blog, Dr Andrew Kirton shares why we shouldn’t be too quick to outsource our writing jobs to AI. As he argues, if we use GenAI to think and write we do lose something. Find out what it is in this blog.

Really enjoyable conversation in today's episode with @lisamherzog.bsky.social, on a topic which is important and pressing in all sorts of ways....
There’s 5 year olds who’ve been locked up in a Texas ICE camp for over 8 months.
That’s where they sent little Liam Ramos.
He’s not being “protected”. He’s incarcerated.
He did nothing wrong.
His parents did nothing wrong. They were applying for asylum.
Release the children.

Feels like a good time to be releasing this episode featuring Jeffrey Howard of
@uclspeechlab.bsky.social. How should social media platforms regulate AI-Generated Content? (Spoiler: it's not by allowing people to use AI to create non-consensual sexualised images.) www.buzzsprout.com/2113237/epis...

Our sense of reality is intimately entwined with our interactions with other people. What happens when those interactions are instead with social AI? See my piece on (so-called) ‘AI-induced psychosis’ in The Conversation
theconversation.com/ai-induced-p...
Chatbots are explicitly being designed “to elicit intimacy and emotional engagement in order to increase our trust in and dependency on them” (me in Wired magazine 🤭). This designed intimacy combined with AI sycophancy creates serious risks for delusional thinking

Was great to talk to Jim Baxter of the @ethicsuntangled.bsky.social podcast about my and Georgie Mill's work on cancelling.
New paper in @the-joap.bsky.social together with @benjaminmatheson.bsky.social on political apologies that consign injustice to the past.
I've been trying to get deskilling into AI ethics for probably five years, and this Appiah essay trying to do this is a total mess www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
