But more than that, it puts a wall between me and the person I want to connect with. Did the student ask ChatGPT to write their extension request? Who am I talking to? [My frustration may be exacerbated by the waves of excited "how are you incorporating AI into your teaching? :D" ads and emails.]

They depersonalize everything they're used for, and instead of being persuaded to adopt them as they're "getting better," I find them more and more sinister. The environmental impacts and harm to art/artists caused by saturating spaces with "good enough" computer-generated replacements horrify me.

I have never used a language model or image generator in any class, including to "save time" by generating hypothetical criminal procedure questions for the students to answer. I want what I teach to come from me (and to learn from my own bad hypos and clunky Powerpoint slides)!!

I was told to submit to the top 80-100 journals (excluding non-subject area) plus 5-15 relevant specialty journals of any rank. It seems like the exclusive submission/targeted cover letters/etc. could all be done without deciding to submit to a bizarrely low number of journals…? Very odd advice.
