Here’s an annotated bibliography on internet addiction with half real entries and half fakes. It was prepared by Trudi Jacobsen and Laura Cohen to teach students how to evaluate the reliability of online sources and comes with a description of how they work with it in class. Could come in handy.

Have you tried playing with the mini version of DALL-E yet? It’s fun! What DALL-E does is generate wonderful images from written prompts, using a neural network trained on images scraped from the internet that have English language captions attached to them. […]

The Machine Vision in Everyday Life project invites proposals for an interdisciplinary workshop using qualitative approaches and digital methods to analyse how machine vision is represented in art, science fiction, games, social media and other forms of cultural and aesthetic expression.
For the Machine Vision in Everyday Life project we’ve analysed how machine vision technologies are portrayed and used in 500 works of fiction and art, including 77 digital games, 190 digital artworks and 233 movies, novels and other narratives. You can browse […]

I’m a visiting scholar at the University of Chicago this year, affiliated with the Center for Applied AI at Booth School of Business. I’m excited about the opportunity to learn from a different disciplinary approach to AI and machine vision. I discovered […]
I’m giving a talk at an actual f2f academic conference today, Critical Borders, Radical Re(visions) of AI, in Cambridge. I was particularly excited to see this conference because it’s organised by the people who edited AI Narratives A History of Imaginative Thinking […]

Thanks for the annotated bibliography! I’ve struggled with some of these questions in my freshman composition courses at Georgia Tech, and this material looks like a useful way of encouraging my students to actually step foot in that musty old library.

Oh, no! If more bloggers find out about this great resource and link to it, then students are less likely to be fooled by it! I ask my freshman comp students to research “internet addiction” every semester, and the Virginia Tech student paper (by Ferris) and Young’s rather brazen self-promotion on netaddiction make for good class discussions. Another good example is here: http://www.bigredhair.com/boilerplate/

Ah, that’s an even sneakier way of setting it up, just asking them to research it and hey presto, they’ll find the fake/real bibliography.. It’s almost like one of those unfiction things where everything and anything could be part of the fiction/game you’re playing/experiencing…
