Have you ever thought to yourself, 'I wish I had a bibliography with 50 carefully arranged references, each one showing a different way AI is making everything worse, perhaps with selected quotations from each reference'? Do I have good news for you"

Whether it’s Donald Trump demanding Greenland from Denmark or Barack Obama asking for Dijon mustard from a hotdog vendor, both presidents made some highly unusual requests.

Your time would be better served ruminating on what we are saying, admitting AI is a profound mistake, and figuring out how to atone for it going forward in your "work." Your Plagiarism Button has made our jobs infinitely harder and we are disgusted with everything your industry has foisted on us.

Not a historian but like to research. The AI might summarize what I'm looking for, but it doesn't find what I'm *not* looking for. The book on the shelf next to the one I wanted. The insight in chapter 6 based on the quote I needed from chapter 4.

I want this to be biting satire.
Tip Tuesday! If an AI chatbot keeps giving you ideas you already thought of, tweak your prompt. Add words like unconventional, creative, or something most people wouldn’t think of.
A small change in your prompt can lead to much more interesting ideas. #EduSky
