“Delve” has become an academic shibboleth, a neon sign in the middle of every conversation flashing ChatGPT was here.

It's incredible how musk transformed into an unscrupulous extreme-right booster. Yet, in contrast to billionaire newspaper owners, Musk also controls a #recommender system. Plenty of reason for alarm.

"Let’s just get AI to do it," they say - what they really mean is, "Let’s ask ChatGPT." As a research master’s student in the field, I can’t help but point out: AI is so much more than chat-based assistants.
🤖 Generative AI isn’t just about chatbots. While tools like ChatGPT and Microsoft Co-Pilot are great, 75% of AI problems don't need chatbots to be solved. In Dr. Marcel Müller's newest article, he shares why starting with the solution (like a chatbot) can lead to disappointment. Read now.
