Maybe it will help a _little_ if I and others like me start saying publicly for the record that we just don’t use ChatGPT.

If you read my stuff you’re reading something an LLM can’t do.

"It’s a shame that you can’t afford rent, but we can offer epistemic compensation." - my paper on relating epistemic and social justice is out. Mostly written as self-therapy, struggling with my own scholarship. But we also need a broader discussion on ways forward in "epistemic injustice" debates.
