"what did students do before chatgpt?" well one time i forgot i had a history essay due at my 10am class the morning of so over the course of my 30 minute bus ride to school i awkwardly used by backpack as a desk, sped wrote the essay, and got an A on it.
six months later i re-read the essay prior to the final exam, went 'ohhhh yeah i remember this', got a question on that topic, and aced it.
point being that actually doing the work is how you learn the material and internalize it. ChatGPT can give you a short cut but it won't build you the the muscles.

It’s unavoidable in the way capitalism is unavoidable. You can opt out as much as you want but so long as it exists it will fuck with you.
It’s completely avoidable but the most powerful people in the world want it to control and threaten the powerless into compliance so it’s really not avoidable so long as we have this social structure. It’s not inevitable by nature, it’s made inevitable by inequality and a growing technofeudalism.
By all means, we should continue to use our own brains, but we also should be clear eyed about the reality that that won’t be enough on its own.
What really ticks me off when talking about ai is when people are like "it's unavoidable" or "you'll have to learn to use it someday" or "its going to be part of the future" like no it's plenty avoidable actually if you have a spine stronger than a dandelion. You simply say "no" and continue to use your own goddamn brain.

Position Statement on Generative AI in teaching and research  
The Linguistics Discipline in the Department of Languages and Cultures at La Trobe University have developed a discipline-specific position statement on the role of generative AI in our classrooms. This statement was written to clearly communicate to our students our expectations of them and what they can expect from us.
Below is the introductory statement, which links to the full statement.
Linguistic subjects at La Trobe take a consistent approach to AI (particularly Generative AI and LLMs) for learning and teaching. Staff will generally limit their use of generative AI in teaching and research, and clearly communicate if such tools are used. We also encourage students to limit their use of AI for the sake of their own educational experience. Some limited use by students will be supported in specific circumstances. In all instances our use of AI in teaching and research is framed around critical evaluation of the utility of these technologies, as well as the cost and benefit of their use. For more information about this approach, including where Generative AI will be used in teaching and learning see the full statement. 
If you find this statement useful, please make use of it with your own students (and let us know how that goes!)

I’ve been spammed by so many of those AI reddit stories with stolen delicious food content in the background that I now have a checklist for key identifiers:
Male names such as Jake, Marcus and Kyle - there’s always a Jake
Common phrases “The whole nine yards,” “like I’d insulted their whole bloodline,” “The works”
Oddly specific details about unnecessary points in the story
There’s always a beat up Honda
They worked double shifts and lived off ramen
Mentions of family bonds or ‘family helps family’ through unreasonable expectations
The perspective changes mid story
Lawyers who can somehow get absolutely ridiculous or petty things to court - yes, this actually happens, but these stories push it
They get into college on a partial scholarship
There’s usually a golden child
The minute I hear any of this stuff I swipe

A couple of years ago we were all terribly concerned about the fact that a lot of American high schools are assigning such crushing homework loads that some kids literally don't have enough time to eat or sleep (and all this in spite of the fact that there's no good evidence that assigning homework actually improves academic outcomes at the pre-university level), but now we're hearing stories about those same schools struggling to stop kids from using ChatGPT to write their essays and suddenly It's The Children Who Are Wrong. Like, do you think maybe there's a certain level of cause and effect in play here?

Hey idk how to start a petition but i'm making a petition for someone to create an actual petition to ban AI generated content on Ao3 (and one day, everywhere.). AI has been proven many times to be a form of plagiarism, and while Ao3 currently allows AI, they prohibit plagiarism. These are conflicting statements. Ban AI on Ao3.

Hey. I think I hate you.

So, Discord has added a feature that lets other people "enhance" or "edit" your images with different AI apps. It looks like this:
Tumblr media
Currently, you can't opt out from this at all. But here's few things you can do as a protest.
FOR SERVERS YOU ARE AN ADMIN IN
Go to Roles -> @/everyone roles -> Scroll all the way down to External Apps, and disable it. This won't delete the option, but it will make people receive a private message instead when they use it, protecting your users:
Tumblr media
You should also make it a bannable offense to edit other user's images with AI. Here's how I worded it in my server, feel free to copypaste:
Do not modify other people's images with AI under ANY circumstances, such as with the Discord "enhancement" features, amidst others. This is a bannable offense.
COMPLAIN TO DISCORD
There's few ways to go around this. First, you can go to https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/requests/new , select Help and Support -> Feedback/New Feature Request, and write your message, as seen in the screenshot below.
Tumblr media
For the message, here's some points you can bring up:
Concerns about harassment (such as people using this feature to bully others)
Concerns about privacy (concerns on how External Apps may break privacy or handle the data in the images, and how it may break some legislations, such as GDPR)
Concerns about how this may impact minors (these features could be used with pictures of irl minors shared in servers, for deeply nefarious purposes)
BE VERY CLEAR about "I will refuse to buy Nitro and will cancel my subscription if this feature remains as it is", since they only care about fucking money
Word them as you'd like, add onto them as you need. They sometimes filter messages that are copypasted templates, so finding ways to word them on your own is helpful.
ADDING: You WILL NEED to reply to the mail you receive afterwards for the message to get sent to an actual human! Otherwise it won't reach anyone
UNSUSCRIBE FROM NITRO
This is what they care about the most. Unsuscribe from Nitro. Tell them why you unsuscribed on the way out. DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY. They're a company. They take actions for profit. If these actions do not get them profit, they will need to backtrack. Mass-unsuscribing from WOTC's DnD beyond forced them to back down with the OGL, this works.
LEAVE A ONE-STAR REVIEW ON THE APP
This impacts their visibility on the App store. Write why are you leaving the one-star review too.
_
Regardless of your stance on AI, I think we can agree that having no way for users to opt out of these pictures is deeply concerning, specially when Discord is often used to share selfies. It's also a good time to remember internet privacy and safety- Maybe don't post your photos in big open public servers, if you don't want to risk people doing edits or modifications of them with AI (or any other way). Once it's posted, it's out of your control.
Anyways, please reblog for visibility- This is a deeply concerning topic!

Too many writers are using generative 'AI' to make their book covers, so I've written a guide on how to make your own cover for free or cheap without turning to a machine.
If you can't afford to pay an artist, you CAN make your own!
I hope this is a helpful overview that covers the basics and points to some free resources.
[Edit:] this is getting well outside this account's usual reach and a few people in the notes are making not so great comments about the fact I write weird erotica. So, for full disclosure: yes, I am an erotica writer. And the book covers include those for tentacle erotica and robot erotic romance. But you cannot see anything NSFW. All of these covers were approved by Amazon. Frankly, the cover of the most NSFW story, Oviposition, is downright tame! And to those complaining about the word 'Oviposition', that is a scientific word for a naturally occurring phenomenon - it's only naughty if you know the content of the story, which is only alluded to as 'sexy'.
I also do not believe that shirtless men require a warning, but yeah, two of the covers have shirtless men. The cover with a tasteful nude drawing (showing a bum, but not a weenor) has already been censored.
I can't do anything about the version of this post that got rb'd by a popular person, but for those who are concerned, consider this your content warning.

Discord has added generative AI features to servers.
Here are THREE THINGS you need to do today.
1️⃣ YOUR SERVER
Go into server settings -> roles -> Default permissions
Search for "external apps" and disable it
Tumblr media
2️⃣ YOUR FEEDBACK
Access Discord support -> https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Go into Help & Support > Feedback/New Feature Request
Denounce generative AI and request the feature be removed. Bring up privacy concerns for yourself, your data, and for minors.
You will get an automatic reply to this request- PLEASE REPLY TO THE EMAIL TO PUSH IT TO THE TEAM or else it will get discarded.
3️⃣ ON MOBILE
Access your app store
Leave a 1 star review and publicly denounce generative AI and Discord's use of it
Reblog this to spread the word, I'm tired of the enshittification of the things I use in my day to day life.

ai has no fucking place in fandom. none whatsoever. even if you’re “just using it for feedback” or “just using it for prompts” or “just using it to help with writer’s block.” and if you’re using it for research? why on god’s green earth would you use the Lying Machine to do research???
all art, whether written work, paintings, drawings, anything, is a fundamentally human creation, and by using ai to create “art,” you are stripping the humanity from something inherently, intrinsically human
fanfiction and fanart and any kind of fan creation are borne out of a love of the original media and a passion for creation. there is no reason or need to supplement that passion and creation with gibberish from the Plagiarizing Machine
nobody expects perfection. it is the imperfections that make it beautiful, that make it raw and rich with humanity. this is a community that exists because of a shared love for something.it is built upon our own creations. ai generated content threatens its very foundations
