To me, this is ultimately the intellectual reason that should genAI a nonstarter in libraries and ed. Even if some of the environmental research is squishy, even if we could amend the labour equity issues, ultimately critical infolit is about provenance, and genAI is the context-killer
I think the shortest version of why LLMs are an anti education technology is that education is fundamentally about making shared context to understand ourselves, each other, and the world
And by design LLMs destroy shared context

Emotional. ❤️
I've been working on this for the past 2 years, but in many ways, much longer, as my Masters degree is in paleoanthropology. Specifically Miocene ape evolution.
This isn't a book about how humans learned to walk as much as it is about how primates learned to reach. ❤️
Hence the title.

Oooooooh, looks like the news is out! 😁
Our human evolution picture book announcement!!!
I've been SO pumped about this one. It is the story both my soul and my academic side has been longing to tell. I'm thrilled to work with Galia and bring this important story to life for young kids everywhere.

Unlike most apps these days, Scrivener does not use AI in any way. However, if you’re on a Mac, you may see an AI prompt.

This made me so happy to hear. If authors don't want the conversation to revolve around AI, then they shouldn't use it. If they're going to use it on the cover, what's stopping them from using it in the contents of the book? Let this be a lesson to everyone involved with AI art.
"In a statement, Smither said the designers spent hours working on the cover of her book, which features a steam train and an angel 'half-obscured in the smoke', inspired by artist Marc Chagall’s figures."
HOURS!!! this is such actually and insane read lmao
