I’ve rarely seen my blog as inordinately dull as in the last week or two. I’m off on my summer holidays on Tuesday morning, and I’ve been frantically trying to tie up all the loose ends here at work. Got through a huge stack of grading, organisational things are almost in place, etc, etc, etc, etc.

I’m really, really tired. All of me. My thoughts are sluggish and my legs feel like I walked for miles yesterday, though I didn’t, and my legs and thoughts have felt that way for days. Just as well I have several weeks of holidays coming up!

Expect more blogging in August. Enjoy the summer! I know I will.

    Couldn’t agree more, you certainly deserve your break. Despite everything that “interferred” with my studies I really enjoyed this term, much thanks to you. Have a blissful summer!

Grammarly generated fake expert reviews “by” real scholars

Grammarly is a full on AI plagiarism machine now, generating text, citations (often irrelevant), “humanizing” the text to avoid AI checkers and so on. If you’re an author or scholar, they also have been impersonating and offering “feedback” in your name. Until yesterday, when they discontinued the Expert Review feature due to a class action lawsuit. Here are screenshots of how it worked.
