Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared

Google Scholar Is Doomed

Academia built entire careers on a free Google service with zero guarantees. What could go wrong?

The right wing is coming for Wikipedia

The Heritage Foundation says it will "identify and target" Wikipedia editors over alleged bias. What does that mean for Wikipedia’s future?

It is not "attribution and sourcing" to generate post-hoc citations that have not been read and did not inform the student's writing. Those should be regarded as fraudulent: artifacts testifying to human actions and thought that did not occur.

For help with attribution and sourcing, Grammarly is releasing a citation finder agent that automatically generates correctly formatted citations backing up claims in a piece of writing, and an expert review agent that provides personalized, topic-specific feedback.

Yes I can't wait for millennials-only internet. It's going to consist solely of expired memes, "aesthetic" photos of coffee, and this emoji in particular: 😂

after careful study, I believe only people born between 1975 and 1995 should be allowed to use the internet

It should be noted that Google has noticed the backlash enough that they quietly published a code that would removed AI results for their searches.

An enterprising person built a default site to search without AI, and the results are goddamn refreshing as hell.

exactly, you're not a sycophant, are you @absurdcompliments.bsky.social?

Hannah Shelley, MLIS (Metadata, Lattes & Impostor Syndrome) @hannahshelley.bsky.social · 1d

I was just bragging. I agree and I think it's a good point. It's interesting to compare when a program is transparently mixing words vs the more sophisticated mimicry of AI

The bot is a word list and a random choice function. Not AI, not even a small language model, just a tiny little guy 🌟

"The generative AI wave isn’t coming — it’s already here, and it’s reshaping how the public finds information." @felixsimon.bsky.social has written about our recent report, including rapid growth in how many (and how) people use generative AI to get information www.niemanlab.org/2025/10/peop...

People are using ChatGPT twice as much as they were last year. They’re still just as skeptical of AI in news.
