One of my colleagues discovered a journal had published an article co-authored by her that she never wrote. Appears to have been AI generated and put behind a paywall. Identity fraud, plagiarism, exploitation. Just more awesome benefits of AI... #NihilismAndTechnology

Enjoyed writing this short but sweet [altho not necessarily in message] piece for @projectsyndicate.bsky.social w @irisvanrooij.bsky.social: > While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype & stolen intellectual labor 🧵

Before he was murdered by a fascist Schlick was working on a far ranging version of this idea (sootyempiric.blogspot.com/2016/12/schl...). I also agree, fwiw. I see little hope of persuading people of this!

Getting close to 50k views and I'm wondering is it just everybody is scared to say this and pleased I did? Because if there's so many of us who agree, trust me I'd know if 1k people disagreed with me let alone 50k, why are we letting AI ruin our universities? Together we can turn back the tide.

It’s here! My volume on Susan Stebbing (co-edited with Annalisa Coliva). Out in print at the end of this month! academic.oup.com/book/60791?l...
