Less pettily, there's just so much in this amazing world to wonder about that it seems so sad to abdicate doing that.
My personal 2c on the AI in academia discourse is that if I discover you have used AI to replace your reading or writing, you are going on a literal list.
I am that petty. I don't want to deal with people who don't actually understand their areas.

“I don’t need a machine, I have a community” is such a lovely way of putting what academia is, can and should be
Also I don’t need to read every book and article, discerning whats important for my research and what isn’t is a really important skill. And what I also do is collaborate with other researchers, organise conferences, edit books, review others‘ work. I don’t need a machine, I have a community

There’s so much joy in the doing, it sucks so bad that we’ve lost sight of that in favor of the done (badly).

This and the discussion about how academics can now just read AI summaries of things really drives home how much these guys always confuse the product for the goal. You don't do a coloring sheet because you want to have a colored sheet at the end!!! The coloring is the point!!!

Citation is easy. It's a couple of lines on your credits page.
Citation is encouragement. Every time somebody else acknowledges me this way, I feel like the work is worthwhile.
Citation is introspection. You are marking your trajectory, the ports you have called at, as a maker.

Potty training my kid with (a mild version of, thank you masking!) this season’s flu is not a joke. Boasting about how well hydrated they are has come back to bite me.

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

Having to resolve a ton of feedback on something I wrote triggers the same part of my brain as realizing my baby has a dirty diaper. Resolving one is more satisfying than the other, but I won’t spoil which.

The political desire to define women solely in terms of their reproductive capacity is, and always has been, a way to control their bodies. This is why affirming trans rights is also affirming women’s rights. Feminism disrupts patriarchal logics that seek to police people according to their biology.
