Most colleges and universities are not proactively considering the needs of disabled and chronically ill faculty, staff, and students at this point in the pandemic and never ever will because they legally don’t have to until the people they should be considering out themselves.

There’s a huge legal battle re AI: When you file a claim to get medical coverage from your health insurance, a human isn’t on the other end. It’s AI. 😖 So now ppl are getting claim denials on stuff that’s actually covered…because AI is wrong. Those patients sued.

I miss out on some social things not having kids. Like parent small talk at their kids’ events. I’m at such an event currently and I am beyond certain I would be really bad at that small talk.

Me doing a little research around the house trying to figure out why my blood sugar is high in away that does not make sense: “Oh, it appears you drank a Coke and not a Coke Zero.” User error. 🤣

The thing that confuses me about people who use AI in media is the question of why they’re making that thing in the first place. If you don’t want to write a book, why generate one? If you don’t want to paint, why are you advertising fake paintings?

This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽‍♀️ Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

South Alabama Speedway has banned Short Track Scene from covering the Rattler 250 because I refuse to apologize for calling out their use of AI in a fan-designed logo contest. This is ridiculous but I want fans to know why and that I support creatives. shorttrackscene.com/commentary/why…

Now that it’s increasingly looking like I will graduate this summer, I think they should let PhD graduates choose an entry song like wrestlers in the WWE. After 6 years the least they can do is let me act like a diva for a 30 sec clip of “Beast” by Rob Bailey feat. Busta Rhymes

So the argument is: it’s faster with the same quality. Cool story.

An attorney writes to me about the mostly AI-written law review article he had accepted this spring, now forthcoming in the flagship law review of a Top 50 law school. A draft of the article is now up on SSRN. According to the attorney: " Last month I used Claude to assist in drafting a new article . . . . I drafted this article in about 15 hours. In 2022 I published an article of similar length that took around 150 hours." The attorney adds: "I used Claude the way I’d use a junior associate—as a first drafter, sounding board, and research assistant. Most of the article, including the entirety of the title, abstract, and intro, is mine from the keyboard up. And anything Claude contributed that made it to the final version is there because I reviewed it, agreed with it, and chose to sign my name to it. This is no different than how I’d review an associate’s draft and then take responsibility for the finished product." The attorney adds: "That first draft was by no means file ready, but it was better than what I would’ve received from the vast majority of BigLaw associates. I was blown away, and have since started my own appellate and litigation practice in an effort to replicate these productivity gains for client work." Your thoughts? I know the attorney's name, and the journal, and I have checked out the article, but I figured that, at least for now, I would hold that back.

If genAI is so "good" then lets put a tag on everything produced with it. Tag your products, tag your writing, hell tag your college diploma. Lets see what the market actually thinks when AI usage is fully disclosed.

My undergrad alma mater has been sending me daily emails during “academic excellence week” so no one can claim it does not care about academics. Academics got its own branded week of importance! One entire week!

Reading into this "AI horror novel" scandal, I fear people in the publishing world may be massively, massively overestimating their ability to detect AI prose by eyeballing.

Just a small vent after clicking on yet another article hidden behind a paywall on a site that requires paying $20/month.
