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.

This morning I received the copy-edited version of a paper I recently submitted to a journal. This is always cause for celebration, another step towards publication accomplished! But this time the copy-editor wasn’t human, it was an AI. We have undertaken a light text edit using the tool Paperpal Preflight; […]
At last week’s AI STORIES workshop, Gabriele de Seta led a workshop exploring Butterflies.ai, a social media platform where all the users are AIs. Gathering a group of researchers in a room for a few hours to explore and discuss a specific genAI platform turns out to be a really […]
When I studied literature we mostly read the classics. Great literature, the canon. But that’s not necessarily what most people actually read. What if instead of comparing AI-generated literature to the literary canon, we tried comparing it to super popular and commercial forms of literature instead? Like the folkebøker that […]
Synthetic media is a current popular term for AI-generated videos, texts and images. I think the first use was only a few years ago in 2018, but I couldn’t find an overview of its use so thought I’d cobble one together here, mostly because I like Elena Pilipets and her […]
OpenAI plans to charge $20,000 (USD) a month for an AI agent that can do “PhD level research”. Maybe all the PhDs and postdocs recently fired by DOGE should band together and sell their services as “AI agents” – apparently some people will pay more for robots than people. At […]
This is my original Norwegian draft of an essay published in the Danish foreign policy magazine Udenrigs today as part of a special issue on AI and foreign policy. I argue that AI is influencing the way we tell stories, and more seriously, that there is a risk of this […]

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…
