And even in 2026 you see crazy hyperbole like "all LLM generations will have hallucinations" or confident wrong statements like RAG claims to reduce errors but it doesn't, trust me I am a librarian and I looked it up...sigh

I know for a fact the cutting edge tools are a great time saver. And the faculty i talking about are ruthless they will not adopt a tool if it doesnt save them time. But we librarians know better right? Is this type of smug i know better cos "I am a librarian" that really makes me sad / angry

Eg when I say some of our most astute & hard working faculty are embracing cutting edge search tools because they find it helps them, librarians who probably have never even touched such things or just tried inferior free versions will argue with me these faculty don't know better! Drives me nuts

To be perfectly candid I have to say the level of librarian discourse in the area I know best - "AI search" was horrific initially But it has been rising, among the supporters, neutral and sceptical but who at least are trying and learning. Those who think they already know they still stuck in 2022

And frankly if librarians want a seat at the table to be consulted, they need to prove they have expertise, not think they automatically deserve it because they can throw slogans like stochastic parrot and autocomplete on steroids.

ですよね。アニバーサリーイヤーなのでThe Subwaysあたり来ないかなぁ...
