I dag bråkar jag om AI, akademiskt skrivande och hantverksskicklighet. Framför allt gör jag ett försök att koppla samman AI-frågan här och nu med en sedan länge existerande andlig robotisering i universitetsvärlden, en robotisering som föregriper de stora språkmodellernas utbredning.

"He illuminates our understanding of books, libraries, and learning in early modernity . . . whilst also directing 'a critical gaze at our own day-to-day practice of scholarly work.'"
