some of the most stringent critics of 'AI' (i.e. generative models etc.) have come from a cognitive science perspective / background

There are proper book reviews, there are rogue book reviews, and there are hooligan preudo-book-reviews. I've done the last one for "Harvey Sacks and Ethnomethodology" by Graham Button. My verdict: don't read it. #EMCA

I had a look at a press release about job cuts from a nearby large university .
I was struck by how each paragraph started off positively but then lapsed into treacly platitudes.
So I thought I'd help them out with their argument structure.

Now that em-dashes have been ruined by their overpresence in AI slop, we might as well switch to something better⸻namely Unicode U+2E3B, the 3-em dash⸺or at the very least U+2E3A, the 2-em.

While reviewing for #CHI2026, I've noticed four new writing issues in #HCI papers, likely due to an increased use of #LLMs / #AI. I describe them here - and how to fix them: dbuschek.medium.com/when-llms-wr...

when the bubble bursts I'm wondering what will happen to research fields and researchers who have pivoted everything they do to "AI"
I'm thinking particularly about the lack of conceptual depth in tech driven research (cough CHI cough)
