Unfortunately, what we have become has been 8 years in the making. What Trump’s Gestapo/SS are doing now, is what (granted, on a smaller scale) Bill Barr’s secret police was doing 5 years ago during Floyd protests when organizers and leaders were being snatched and detained by people in black…
WHAT HAVE WE BECOME?
ICE raiding elementary school graduations??
Protestors run over??
People kidnapped/disappeared??

I suggest folks start putting "anti-AI statements" in their publications and talks. For example, state that you didn't use AI for any aspect of your work and that you didn't cite any studies that used AI.
This shows worker solidarity and makes visible the collective action against AI.

If this isn't a cautionary warning for academics then I don't know what is.
You are putting yourself one step closer to unemployment each time you use AI to write an email, synthesize literature, code any data, use the socratic method to organize ideas, or write syllabi, lectures & papers.

This week, I spoke with one of the Duolingo contractors impacted by its 'new' AI strategy, and they clarified that
1) it's not new. Duolingo has *already* fired an estimated 100 writers and translators.
2) they worked for months training an AI system that still makes egregious mistakes.
