I always feel a sense of momentary dread when I accidentally tap ‘like’ while scrolling. What have I liked? Will people see this and think I’m weird 😐

Thanks for wearing the white poppy - I always thought that the white and red poppy go together - remembering those who lost their lives in war but also always working for peace.

I added the add-on and it is actually really useful - it provides quite a few details. Metrics are never perfect but this one does seem a bit better than most. Thanks for sharing!

The deadline for applications is 20th October and the application form is fairly short. Unfortunately, at this point I am not able to respond to individual emails (sorry!), but if you think you have a strong CV that is relevant to this or other GW4 projects, I encourage you to apply.

This project is part of the GW4 doctoral training programme, which includes many other cool PhD projects too (see link in thread below).

and too many times I have read bland, uninspiring (even soul-less) content generated by AI. I am sure there are ways you can start from an AI 'draft' and then work it into something that's yours, but I'm not sure following that process would save me any time compared to just writing it myself.

I know AI can produce pleasant (even impressive) and grammatically perfect text, but it wouldn't be MY text. Since the proposal was about MY ideas and my research, it just felt like it had to come from me, with my 'voice'. AI doesn't know or understand why I am thinking -
