My colleague Jessica Witte has just shared a preprint where she compared the emotional arcs of the stories we generated using gpt-4o-mini to those of human-authored (pre-2022) stories from the subreddit r/WritingPrompts, conveniently gathered in this dataset. She found a distinct difference in the endings of the LLM-generated stories: both […]
Dorothy Bishop, a psychologist, wrote a useful list of what reviewers need to look out now that so many papers are bad science that looks good thanks to LLMs. Read her whole blog post, she explains it well, but here’s a brief version because I’m pretty sure we’ll be needing […]
I recently read a good article on the different kinds of truth a language model operates with by Luke Mann, Liam Magee and Vanicka Arora, Truth Machines: Synthesizing Veracity in AI Language Models, but despite its lovely typology of truths (consensus, correspondence, coherence and pragmatic) it doesn’t help me with […]
I have this hunch that sparkles and glow and shimmer are somehow a point in the latent spaces of LLMs that have more connections than you would expect. Perhaps their connotation to magic and to the unknown matches some of the mystique of genAI? Or perhaps these words are used […]
This LLM-generated paper demonstrates how LLMs fail to cite core scholarship on a topic but generate misaligned citations systematically.
This paper is a great example of why you probably shouldn’t use a systematic literature review for a theoretical and conceptual research question like “How does artificial intelligence affect the perception of authenticity and aura in art?” However, if you’re looking for an annotated list of 48 recent articles about […]

At first glance, I loved it. But then I realized it was just a picture, and that the syllabus itself was a downloadable .doc, and all the rest of it was one centered column of links down the page. :/
It did inspire me to be a little more creative with the design of my web design syllabi for this quarter, though. Maybe that will be today’s lazy-day task.

Yeah, I know, I kept wondering why the syllabus link didn’t work, until I realised it was being downloaded as a word doc…
It would be hilarious to have an amazon-style working, linked syllabus. Possibly in breach of some copyright or something (nah, it’s parody and protected, right?) but what fun!

That was funny. But what you need is an Amazon search feature for the doc, and a check out line before you can buy the syllabus…
