Interesting essay. One of the issues is that more regularly now the output from AI looks similar to the output from scholarship. However it isn't scholarship. Now that might not matter in some applications, because AI will still produce very useful work. #academicsky

I don't know if it reassures you but I don't think that feeling ever fully goes away. I've started to regard it, and similar feelings, as an integral part of what drives you to improve. It is though a very fine balance. Good wishes to you 😀

Yes overcomplicated it seems. On balance it seems the number of farms affected isn't nearly as many as is often alleged.

All real! I think.

This sort of place takes your breath away. The typefaces used in the numbering, the old ironwork, the figuring on the oak.....!

The far right thrives on ignorance. It's hardly surprising that academia is always the no.1 target. Academia's mantra if we are proven wrong is 'oh yeah, better change what we think'. (Not saying that's easy, BTW, just that this is the eventual effect.)

I agree. Even live performances these days might not be quite what they seem. See 'Wings of Pegasus' on YouTube for allegations about miming and autotuning. Personally, I am a huge fan of imperfection- it's what makes all forms of art human/expressive.

In general, we seem to be in the wild west in terms of protecting intellectual property of all sorts. AI is changing everything as well in terms of the whole nature of creation. I worry for the future of original music 😢

What would be very interesting would be to know how much people trust what they are actually reading in those articles. Trust in news sources is usually quoted well below 50% in the titles themselves. I'd love to know how much a newspaper's core readership suck up everything, or ignore it.

Absolutely, it seems like common sense and civility is back in fashion. For now at least 😀
