For our Search & Discovery class I'm 👀 for a pithy piece (article or podcast) that comprehensively + critically chronicles the decline of web search — SEO, link rot, AI summaries + ☠️ of click-through, AI slop, etc — but of course, thanks to search's brokenness, I can't find what I'm 👀 for! 😫

Tomorrow I'm joining #MLA26. I wrote up what I'll share during virtual #s67 - "Writing in the Margins: The Freedom of Scholarly Work in Nondisciplinary Spaces."
Post is titled "Many Ways; Many Gifts." I talk about how my writing practice has changed as a new parent.

Students may end up being the only real bulwark against what is happening.
But, I know that not all students have the same power — the same exit threat. Student resistance will fall along institutional lines of privilege. Could hasten the marketization of non-elite schools.
The elites win.

A student told me Thursday that another prof had told the class to post their work into an AI LLM, to be graded and commented on by the AI. The other students were all offended. Which is good. They should be offended.

Thanks so much for your reporting on this, Ben. I just got an email from my campus's IT office triumphantly advertising free student access to four different AI models -- at the same time as we have a hiring freeze, caps on grad enrollment, and a 7% budget cut -- and wanted to scream.
