Se me ha ocurrido hacer un experimento y le he pedido a ChatGPT que me diga 20 novelas escritas por mujeres situadas en un espacio urbano.

Ha sido incapaz, repito, INCAPAZ, de encontrar 20 novelas, en toda la literatura universal, escritas por mujeres y situadas en una ciudad cualquiera.

En 1916 Emilia Pardo Bazán fue la primera catedrática en España (de Literatura contemporánea de las lenguas neolatinas, Universidad Central, hoy Complutense). Dejó el puesto en 1921 por el boicot de los estudiantes y de los profesores, todos hombres.

Not at all concerning to learn that Universities UK are partnering with a company to sell an AI product that offers automated feedback on student work. Who needs staff?

LinkedIn promoted post about Universities UK's partnership with a firm called Studiosity, who are offering universities a free trial of their "AI for learning (not corrections), for formative feedback at scale)".

Text from the announcement which says the AI technology "means all students can benefit from personalised formative feedback in minutes, including guidance on how they can demonstrably improve their own work and critical thinking skills. Actionable insight is accessible to faculty and leaders, revealing the scale of engagement with support, cohorts requiring intervention, and measurable learning progress."

Italian philosopher Andrea Colamedici pretended he was the translator philosopher Jianwei Xun, when this was actually an AI. Now the doubt is what to do with the book 'Hypnocracy: Trump, Musk, and the Architecture of Reality', illegally marketed without warning that it's by an AI.

Unsurprisingly, #meta has stolen some of my academic books, edited books, journal articles & reviews without my permission to train #AI. Pure theft. Academic publishing houses need to stand with non-academic publishers in defending our #copyright 😡

It was relaunched in 1998 under the patronage of none other than King Juan Carlos I of Spain and, apparently, his son Felipe VI is now honorary president of the Societe des Amis de l'Almanach.

Working on literary annuals again and finding the strangest connections. Just discovered that for the first Forget Me Not (1823) Ackermann and Shoberl considered the Almanach de Gotha, an almanac containing information on European royalty and nobility that was published annually from 1763 to 1944
