Guest Post — AI Fatigue and Vocational Awe in Academic Libraries - The Scholarly Kitchen Today's guest blogger says academic librarians don't need another class on how to use AI, but an institutional reflection on the emotional and mental cost of rushing innovations.

okay, Ill bite.

Why every scientist needs a librarian Librarians can be key research partners who help to scour the literature, manage data and make science open.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

A man holding a camera is reflected repeatedly in a mirrored elevator, creating an optical illusion of infinite reflections. Text reads: Tired of internet echo chambers?

When our information sources narrow, our understanding does too.

An echo chamber is an environment where people encounter information or opinions that reflect and reinforce their existing beliefs. 🧵⬇️ (1/2)

Can ChatGPT generate me a file with all the references from a bibliography I have in word? I tried this out because I'd heard from multiple sources that it could, and I teach and use software for managing references, and this would be a really useful thing to be able to do. #medlibs (thread)

The AI bros (who clearly don't understand AI) in the comments are hilarious. "ask stupid questions, get stupid answers". LLMs have no concept of how intelligent a question is, and they certainly were not designed to deliberately give stupid responses if they deem your question too stupid. 1/?

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.
