Kids currently only use the broad internet with supervision, but when we are looking something up or watching insta reels with them, we play spot the AI and spot the problems with the search results. For example, we looked up kasuqis (a chiton) mentioned in Molly of Denali and it gave us this:

It’s easy to do theory on things you dislike. Can you critique something you love? Can you hold the duality of loving it and understanding it? Or that’s what I was trying to do. Hope springs eternal!

“They” are absolutely going to market this idea.

Result of staffing and scale at smaller, private colleges compared to larger, public schools that can hire more than one specialist in rhetoric? There is one book that is more practical than theoretical that traces some of this, Gladstein and Regaignon

My very quick, under-researched thought about this is that it has to do with faculty/admin leadership. Comp/Rhet runs the pub university programs, and admin/gened committees of interdisciplinary faculty run the SLAC programs

Tbh I'm not even keen on machine learning. I'd love to see more use of "predictive model" which imo leads naturally to "what does it predict / model"

Me when I think about how my lifelong affection for AI as an idea is poisoned every day by the bullshit pretender they are using to ruin everything I love
