the difference between remixing and plagiarism?

Jill4 Comments

Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different from that from which it was torn; the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion. A good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time, or alien in language, or diverse in interest. (T.S. Eliot, 1922 – found via Ludologist)

    It’s pleasing to return after a long absence, Jill, to find you’re doing so well in our northern antipodes. I’ve never come across this quote of Eliot; but I do wonder what he’d suggest were its implications for Shakespeare, whose borrowing habits were very different from those described in Eliot’s final sentence?

    Could the effects of our electronic age be a factor in [unlike your other topics] no one having responded to this one? Best wishes.

Do people flock to talks about ChatGPT because they are scared?

Whenever I give talks about ChatGPT and LLMs, whether to ninth graders, businesses or journalists, I meet people who are hungry for information, who really want to understand this new technology. I’ve interpreted this as interest and a need to understand – but yesterday, Eirik Solheim said that every time […]
