"while essay-writing systems change and improve over time, so too will our definitions of what constitutes a good and original academic essay [...] we should be regularly reviewing our expectations for academic writing"

The Lovelace Effect – AI generated texts should lead us to re-value creativity in academic writing - Impact of Social Sciences

Simone Natale and Leah Henrickson, introduce the concept of the ‘Lovelace Effect’, to explain how creativity is attributed to AI generated texts and images.

Very, very aware of who's behind it.

Which is why we need to keep an eye on it and beyond it, and do the research

These are mainly a ntm but sharing in case anybody out there also has an interest in how #MachineLearning and #StoryMachines understand complex human social practices, such as #AcademicWriting #Acwri

Here is mine - I wonder if anybody in these threads would mind if at some point I used some of these machine-generated stories in my research (with due acknowledgment, of course).

What genre is this particular GPT-3 trained on (short fiction? How short?)

ntm for research on #AcWri:

"the [AI] training process is highly dependent on prior labelling performed by a human operator. This is problematic because it crystallises the operator’s cultural biases (e.g. racism and sexism) as well as her possible mistakes".

What other biases are being built in to #StoryMachines for #AcademicWriting?
