Big Bad Overlord

And this is a problem why?....

...and they're told "FIND A USE FOR IT and then tell us what that use is because we don't have any actual uses for it either BUT IT WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING"

NB often teachers don't choose this, but are mandated to do so by the administration. There is a heavy-handed top-down directive across educational institutions to use it, requiring teachers and professors to figure out on their own how to integrate it into their curricula

As one does

Dear client, don't take this personally but you are the 1000th example of ChatGPT writing I've come across and I am about to get a lot less polite about it

Midcentury modern inspired stylized portrait of a black and white dog

Trying out new things

Damn right

Today I learned that one of the dogs is smart enough not to lick the mop while we are cleaning

Of course. I eat talking food all the time

I am also a voice in your hat as well and also that package of Oreos

Well I'm certainly not

It's basically an underground publication at this point

It's a dystopian nightmare

You saw a picture of Jesse Eisenberg and Michael Cera in the same place and you can't decide if it's AI or not

That sounds like the best metric to me.

What are your personal criteria for a game's success? I mean beyond sales.

Writers take note. Your medieval-style fantasy should make sure its ducks speak appropriately

Hard to capture that process effectively in a written evaluation though

Mood: reviewing a book that suggests eating "mindfully and with grace" and my instinctive reaction was "NO"

I have seen ZERO evidence of this in *any* humanities discipline. What I *have* seen is university administrations insisting to their humanities faculties that 1) "AI is a transformative tool for your disciplines!" 2) "No, we don't have any examples or suggestions, but you must find them or else!"

I thought at first that said Mocha Mouse and I was like, why haven't I heard of this comic?

It really is magical thinking. I've had maybe a dozen commissions over the past year reviewing business books that are positively evangelical about the money-saving potential, based on deep misunderstandings of what it can do. Also people ask me to fix their AI's writing almost daily.

I still cannot fathom why people continue to insist with increasingly pretzel-like contortions that AI is not simply a powerful (limited) tool but must be *great* and *transformational* for something, pinky swear, any day now

Ooh, those are nice

That's just a normal Tuesday for me
