Hahaha! Thanks! Everything is coming out all at once. There's one more to come out and then I need to hurry up and submit a few things I'm behind on!

You might be interested in the work that @tenille.bsky.social is doing. She has built a bespoke language model trained on her writing to trouble a novel she's working on. Adding the digital uncanny to it. I think there are great possibilities from feeding historical documents into bespoke models

I think we're in total agreement there. With good regulation around intellectual property rights, resource usage, and legal restrictions on how these models are constructed, they could be useful in certain applications

I hate this tech, to be perfectly honest, but there are standards that need to apply to assessments that really defy any attempt to prohibit the use of genAI in take-home writing. The battle on that front is already lost

If ever there was an example of writing by dissensus it's this article. I think it benefited from the process though. I wish the conversations involved in its composition was a podcast! It's true though, if a student uses Grammarly, is it theirs? Spell check? A critical friend?

Another piece of writing from yours truly. Might be the weirdest thing I've written? This is what happens when you agree to write about a US work of criticism for a publication about Australian writing!

"Heads we win, tails you lose" is now live in its peer-reviewed form. This article represents a gamut of perspectives from pro-AI to staunchly opposed. What unites us all is shared condemnation of the use of AI-detection software in education contexts

Nice to be recognised for "Research Paper of the Year" by the AI in Education podcast. So strange to see this paper doing the rounds with my name on it. Such a diverse group of contributors from pro-AI educationalists toβ€”me! All great friends and minds though!
