Scott moved his blog to WordPress and a new domain! I helped tag old posts, which turned out to be rather interesting. Old posts are often rather good, and one of the disadvantages of blogs is that they so rapidly become almost invisible. Categories are one way of helping them become seen again, though my categories, for instance, are a hopeless mess and far too big to be of much use anyway. Creating categories after the fact, as we did for Scott’s blog (Manila doesn’t have categories) is an interesting exercise and really lets you see what kind of things that particular blog tends to be about. Me, I have so many old posts I’m afraid they’ll just have to live in miserable squalor for now. At least they’re googleable. Sort of.

Anyway, go check out Scott’s blog!

    Hi Jill,

    You forgot the http:// part of the URL for the new domain. The link resolves locally to http://jilltxt.net/retts.net, which results in a 404 Not Found error.

    This should work:

AI STORIES

AI-generated stories have longer endings than human stories

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 […]

How to peer review a paper in 2026

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 […]

“So what if it was ChatGPT? It *could* have been true!”

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 […]

AI shimmer and sparkle

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 […]

Don’t do a systematic review if you’re in the humanities

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 […]
