I’m always open to evidence to the contrary. I’m not a pro-AI evangelist. Just trying to be interested and objective, and offering an opinion based on what I see.

However, I have seen no evidence to suggest that by design or by accident, a person who uses an LLM for feedback on a piece of writing is in danger of seeing their writing pop up somewhere else, without attribution, in any kind of wholesale or significant way.

Im sure that folks are worried, and that journals have made policies driven by these concerns. However, it seems like you’re saying that we should be concerned because people are concerned. LLMs can certainly be used for evil. We should be cautious and educated.

Tell me more, if you will. How is it conditioned to act?

I will respond in more detail this afternoon. Just didn’t want you to think I was ignoring this if I didn’t get back right away.

:-) I’d love to provide you with a custom lit review on this topic, but something tells me I’d be wasting my time since you are so committed to your position. For anyone who is truly interested in how LLMs use data, this information is readily available. A simple search will do.

Just to clarify - you believe that using your content to train would result in the direct re-use of your content elsewhere?

Yes. I assume you believe that it is not? I’m curious to hear your thoughts.

Scholarly kitchen? No. But LLMs don’t just recycle people’s work the way it seemed you were indicating in your post. Perhaps I misunderstood?

I teach Computer Science. Can they be coding assignments instead? Give me the work.

That's not how it works.

It's a yes for me. It's a great way to improve your writing. For those who are opposed: Do you also turn off spell check and grammar check? Wondering how you feel about having a person proofread and offer critique? AI is a tool. Tools are neutral and can be used for good or evil.

Reach out to @tracyfullerton.bsky.social - it doesn’t look like she’s active on blue sky yet but she does have an account. She runs the game lab at USC. I would be willing to bet that she knows somebody.

I’ve kept a server active for years, so our kids who were away at college could play with the ones at home. Sometimes friends join and I jump in there too. Great connecting activity.

Only if one of your questions is “would you be willing to participate in a follow up interview?
