How long until we find out Mad Men used AI for the 4k restoration?

I'm going to start using the phrase "the thin tweed line" to describe professors as the last line of defense between knowledge and AI slop.

Looks like LLMs are *very* vulnerable to attack via poetic allusion: "curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90% ..."

I feel like we don't really appreciate AI's erasure of various archives. Search Google with questions about a cover song on an obscure indie record or what's sampled in a rap song. You will likely get radio silence or misinformation, even if that information exists in some corner of the web.

Henry Rollins's transformation from angry punk to cheery public radio host needs to be studied.

Has anyone leaned into style guides like Strunk and White in an effort to offset students's increasing reliance on Grammarly? It seems like as much as instructors try to deemphasize the importance of style and "correctness," students really care about these things.

remember that there are obvious career incentives to being the guy who publishes articles about how AI is actually quite useful in the classroom.

This is too real.

My reoccurring nightmare is that I'm somehow missing an UNDERGRADUATE course from my transcripts. To avoid losing my job as a professor, I have to covertly enroll in something like Intro to Biology before my department finds out.

How powerful is the pull of nostalgia? I just watched 3 episodes of the American Gladiators documentary on Netflix.
