for sure. I would simply plug culturalanalytics.org as a place that does timely peer-review journal articles. Not as fast as proceedings but way better than anything in the humanities. We can also do non-peer-review commentaries that can come out right away and are google scholar indexed.

Curious if there is a way to engineer the dullness out of GPT.

Student take on #GPTs ability to tell stories. "The general tone of the plot is similar to many stories generated by ChatGPT, where there is a small challenge that ends up being resolved in a relatively empty and unmeaningful way. The plot of the story is vague and generic."

New paper led by Lidya Yurdum (PI: @mehr.nz )—we studied people in 52 countries in an experiment translated into 31 languages, testing a core set of intuitions about music—for at least these intuitions, they were highly consistent!

Students can now use AI to help them read and this raises new questions for educators about when and how we'd like them to use it.

Liberally-educated students need to be more than consumers of AI
If I'm buying a thinking process, I really need to understand what I see when I look under the hood.
