I can’t wait to read her book, too. It’s on my list.

I loved this conference. I learned so much! Thank you for putting this event together. This has made me want to get involved with GSOLE!

Headspace’s nonsense stories work on this premise & are great. I have found counting backwards in Spanish from 100 (language I’m learning) also works! Thanks for this idea…will try!

Love these posts ❤️ I would have loved to be in a class where we read one sentence 11 times. Passion. In one UG comics seminar, we dissected one comic cover for the better part of 3 weeks. It’s a core memory.

I’ve thought about trying to explain Enigma to my 14yo and haven’t tried 😂 They used to play it in the house club we went to in Gainesville. OTOH, Mazzy Star has held up remarkably well.

Brilliant post. My field of Writing Studies has discussed this topic a lot, especially in regard to (the gendered labor) of writing center and writing program administration. I have long been wanting to write about the service mentality in English/writing fields and the harm it causes (women).

Skimmed the article & can’t wait to read it. Does it take into consideration not just automatic output, but human collab with output? A responsible use metric across tech/resources would be interesting. Hot showers are essential to my wellbeing. Inane AI use might be someone’s hot shower.

That’s good to hear!

With so many of these tools, there are compelling aspects, I get why any teacher would gravitate towards experimenting with them. I did get the ick during Grammarlys OLC presentation. They extremely uncritically approached the grey areas, shutting down counter argument & concerns.

Def didn’t mean to imply you are bringing punishment in. There’s a culture of punishment/surveillance around writing that has had negative effects on how people feel about it. Making process visible is good; question: what might it say about writing culture when asked to produce a report like this?

“Her,” redux. I think a lot about the future landscape of AI bots. I can imagine what it would be like to have a 24/7 scholarly companion that can dissect and challenge my thinking. I also heard a podcast about a person who used AI therapy to get through the pandemic, not a far cry from this.
