Remind them it gets easier with time and practice; encourage them to work together to identify specifically hard letters, and talk to @nicosiamarissa.bsky.social for more practical advice
Oh it’s old now! But keeps getting cited in Indonesia, weirdly.
I wonder if this is a weird microgenerational thing in the US; when I would present this research in the UK nobody seemed to have heard about it. But we covered it so much ??
I spent my HS + UG career being told that Freytag's pyramid of dramatic structure was THEEE most import thing for understanding drama, so I wanted to see how it worked @ scale
Google scholar tells me that Freytag's pyramid is still thriving in Indonesia/Malaysia culturalanalytics.org/article/id/6...
oh my GOD

lol and we thought things were bad writing dissertations in the 1st trump age
congrats Amy!
yes i think that is fair.
I think "COULD" is a reasonable frame, yes. But as for IP and copyright, librarians all know there is expectations vs reality on that, too...
Yes. But I am less opposed to things like notebookLM (which claims to be a closed-circuit LLM, i.e. works only on content you upload, though there are copyright concerns to consider here too)
Anyway now I will sit back and wait for the anti-AI-everywhere hawks tell me that I am wrong and destroying everything for everyone. y'all like AI when it helps you deposit checks on your phone, just remember that.
It's a tough love chat but I've noticed that grad and upper level students need help understanding not WHAT is bad about AI - most of them get that - but what its larger goals are when it shows up, what it draws on, assessing utility. grad students esp should be able to assess accuracy!
Other forms of AI integration are not as exciting or successful for most user needs. But drawing a line under AI and saying all of it is bad is right back to the days of Wikipedia Is Ruining Higher Education, imo (some people still think that - i promise - I talk to them) 6/
And the classes I've used this on in the past few months - 3 grad classes, 2 undergrad classes - have all taken this on with great seriousness and gravity. I've been impressed. I have said before that I think they all get a lot of mixed messages about AI. Semantic search "AI" is changing a lot 5/
I can't tell you what to do. I work with AI, I study AI, I am not opposed to it. But, if you can't read a bunch of articles, I wonder why you are here and what you hope to get out of this experience. And maybe you should ask yourself that too. 4/
As you go along in your degree you will get to know your discipline more&more - what is interesting, where it is publishes, etc. You CAN hand all that over to the robots and the summaries. Or you can work with the material the author/s create, think abt what is valuable for you. It's your degree 3/
Reading is a skill, a muscle, and your ability to read articles is key to your success here. There's a lot of reading, yes, but you will learn how to account for it. As you go along in your degree you will get to know your discipline more&more - what is interesting, who writes it, where pub, etc. 2/
I've just done 2 grad library-instruction sessions where I have to cover AI summaries & my talking point to them has become:
You are in grad school to learn. You did this bc you like your topic, you are interested You CAN use the AI generated summary but what do you lose by doing that? 1/
I have found the “quiet posters” list that bsky can offer to be a relativle peaceful and enjoyable alternative to the main intensity feed. (and I agree!)
