New HLQ special issue. What counts as an exhibition? As art? As respectable or "high" art? How did colonialism, empire, and race shape artistic production, display, and consumption? #arthistory #skystorians #BritishArt nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

I made a colour-coded A-Z directory of every Pokémon and later, Digimon, I encountered, with details like their type, attacks, and evolved forms. 😎

Not that we in the library wish to encourage profanity, but if you want to get rid of these AI-search summaries (which are often absolute nonsense), just swear in your search terms.

It really works.

How AI images are β€˜flattening’ Indigenous cultures – creating a new form of tech colonialism In one example, an AI image generator produced an image of what was meant to be an elderly First Nations man – in a traditional Papuan headdress.
