That first incredulous "what?" made me cheer. Meanwhile, the disconnect between creatives and AI hypers grows to a chasm.

I feel this way about socialslop, too. Imagine that? Automation is not only unethical; it deskills with a vengeance.

AI-Generated “Workslop” Is Destroying Productivity
Despite a surge in generative AI use across workplaces, most companies are seeing little measurable ROI. One possible reason is because AI tools are being used to produce “workslop”—content that appea...

A bright spot in the bruising process of querying is noting how many literary agencies have AI disclosures and outright bans in their submission guidelines.

A legion of writing profs, writers, & artists in academia stand with the publishing community in resistance.

⚙️🤖🔥 THE MACHINE THAT UNMAKES US 🔥🤖⚙️

AI isn’t neutral—it scales obedience, erases memory, and scripts our future.
We covenant in refusal. ✊🌹🌀

The best feedback from all the back-to-school PDs is about my simple slide letting participants know I haven't used AI to create any part of the presentation + asking them not to use AI while we're learning together.

Simple, informal steps toward #AIRefusal can have powerful impacts.
This session is AI-free. I'm committed to a space that's truly humanizing, a space that's for humans and by humans. I have not used AI to create any part of today's learning, and I ask that you abstain from AI use during our time together. You matter, your voice matters, your experience matters, and your ideas matter. I need you! A badge from Clive Thompson on the right reading "All Human, 100% AI-Free."

Creating course shells for fall for three asynch online classes. Blackboard sucks, always and forever, but at least the clunky outdated version I use for these classes has no AI intrusions.

(Bb "Ultra," which I use for f2f classes, is prettier, but just as clunky, and a lot buggier.)

Today I am muting all the accounts I see promoting the use of GenAI for educational purposes.
I just hate to see it.
It's not inevitable.
It's unethical and destructive.
We can do better.

Since this video is making the rounds, it's worth a reminder that the "paper" this is based on is speculative nonsense that is purely intended to generate a market for the authors' consultancy services. (1/4) #AcademicSky #AIRefusal #AIResistance #AIinEdu www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KVD...

You will have to spend just as much time fact checking "gems in gemini" as if you did the research yourself.
Don't believe the hype. Don't trust the output.

I'm not at all an AI enthusiast but I thought this was really well calibrated for talking to university IT staff & leadership (where #AIrefusal is likely not going to be a successful starting point)

I gave a keynote address to our university's IT staff and leadership offering #digitalhumanities perspectives on #AI adoption at our university. The title is "Peering through the Cloud: Finding Our Way with AI at App State."

AI is built upon labor stolen from writers without compensation or consent. There is no "ethical" use. Why do so many in education look away from the thieving receipts of AI's training corpus while preaching academic integrity?

I opened the Word app on my laptop and discovered that somehow it thought it was supposed to do the writing instead of me. Gotdam AI fucking creeping in everywhere. Turn that shit off. Write like a human. Swear. Be informal. Share in your own dialect. Fuck standardization.
Thank you.

Looks like you're typing a BlueSky post. Can I help? No thanks, you little arsehole. I don't want your cousin Gemini on my phone, either. Do you think tech hopes that writing and interacting on social media with a bot partner becomes so ubiquitous we'll forget that we didn't ask for it? #AIRefusal
