AI models are now ingesting scholarly content in an attempt to dispel their hallucinations. But another possibility looms: that AI will instead drag down scholarship into its muddy realm. A new essay on my newsletter: “AI Is Coming for Scholarship Next”
@ablerism @drewbelf @LeoWong @dancohen @ayjay Love this conversation! I’m taking notes as I also look for new ways to assess. I had been assigning a poem project that included writing a poet bio and I now think that’s utterly useless - way too easy to get B-level results via AI. Short reflective answers to synthetic questions or imitations with tight prompts written in class seemed to work best last year.
