Today I asked my students to respond to two questions.
1. How often do you use an AI chatbot? 1=never, 10=every day
2. What are your feelings about the future of AI? 1=apocalyptically dystopian, like I foresee dying at the hands of a murder robot, 10=I think AI will improve our lives immensely.

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

My job as a professor is not to create a serviceable worker. My job is to help foster thoughtful citizens or community members.

If that sounds fanciful it’s bc corporate interests have spent decades framing how we talk about education so they don’t take the heat for immiserating labor conditions.

I think I've mentioned this before, but since I've written critically about GenAI I've started getting people emailing me telling me they never wrote before but then used ChatGPT and "10 days later" they've written a mind expanding novel that will change literature they want me to read

"AI only offers suggestions based on your prompts. It's still your imagination."

No. Your imagination provides the germ of a story, expands it into sentences, phrases, paragraphs, chapters, culminating in a complete story. Using AI is "I have an idea," then someone else writes a story based on it.
