Pour le dire plus simplement : l'IA générative diminue simultanément vos capacités de réflexion critique et votre autonomie face à la machine.
Et ce sont les chercheurs de Microsoft qui vous le disent.

Microsoft's own research confirms something that was already pretty obvious: relying on a text generating machine to come up with answers erodes critical thinking, and is a method favoured by those who never liked doing critical thinking in the first place

Bookshop is great! It also directly supports authors, who can make their own digital storefront on the site!
Uhhh, hi! It's me, Bookshop.org, a place to buy books online where every purchase financially supports indie bookstores instead of some billionaire.

I love these. They're great exercises for game localization too.
Game translators often need to write lines that match the character and fit within a short time, come up with appropriate names for items, match the tone of characters, and be clear and informative with tutorial/hint text.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Finished listening to the audiobook Infused - Adventures in Tea by Henrietta Lovell. A lovely memoir about a strong and distinguished woman following her dreams, and also filled with tea brewing tips, pairing ideas and recipes (like cocktails with tea!). I liked it! :) 🫖(and handle checks out! 🤭)
