ACADEMIC READING ALREADY COMES WITH A SUMMARY IT IS CALLED THE ABSTRACT
The Appendix on an AI policy is actually quite bad. Having an AI deliver a summary before reading has major implications in terms of the experience of student learning. What we want students to do and how they do it is the question. The experience of reading is not the same as reading a summary.

She has now been moved to Louisiana. This shouldn’t happen to *anyone* but it’s worth noting that she had a valid visa through next December. The whole Diocese of New York is furious, and I sure wouldn’t want those folks mad at me.
One of the latest detained is 20-year-old Yeonsoo Go, the daughter of beloved Episcopal priest Kyrie Kim and a graduate of Scarsdale High School in Westchester County. The South Korean native moved to New York in 2021 with her mother.

my grandfather told of seeing a Gret Big Vanishing black dog in Virginia, on that part of the eastern continental divide called the Devil’s Backbone, between the Devil’s Peepover and the Devil’s Inkstand
Celebrate the 448th anniversary of the appearance of cyclopean devil dog Black Shuck with this unforgiving photorealistic Ladybird-grade image of the phenomenon which children were invited to enjoy, absorb and accept in the Usborne Book Of The Unknown.

It is likely easy for the average person to eye-roll about professors complaining about students generating essays with bots, but the process of formulating an argument, a story, or a eulogy changes the writer, and, in its reading, can change readers as well.

Buffalo, Shakespeare in Delaware Park’s production of Richard III is cathartic as all get out! What a joy to see the play staged to bring out its current relevance, and what a pleasure to watch it from a picnic blanket, among clover and plantain, under the moon and stars.

This “rural people don’t deserve public broadcasting” lie has me looking to the Douglas Adams postcard. Radio Hitchhiker’s gave me such rare delight and wonder as an isolated Appalachian teenager. I never expected him to reply to my fan mail! That, and how, he did is still helpful.

Listen to sci fi and fantasy writers when we tell you what techno fascists are doing. We've been thinking about this stuff all our lives, and we know it when we see it.
This isn't a list of jobs that A.I. can easily replace.
It's a list of jobs that techno fascists don't think are worthwhile or meaningful and that they want to eliminate.
They don't want humans to try to make sense of the world, they want us to believe whatever we're told.
