Here’s a job advertisement for a PhD fellowship looking at the convergence between information systems and new media in a democracy perspective – four years, 25% teaching, pay is around about $40,000 I think, and you need an MA in a relevant subject to apply.

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 […]
