Andererseits habe ich ja auch gerade gesagt, dass ich etwas verunsichert bin, wie ich weitermachen will, weil ich mir die Community (mich selbst inbegriffen) etwas ambitionierter erhofft hatte, was die Substanziierung der Kritik an #AI angeht. Und obendrein ist heute überhaupt kein Tag, wo man so einfach zum Tagesgeschäft der nächsten Konferenzplanung weitergehen kann! Und das hängt ja alles zusammen.

Ich muss echt mal gründlich nachdenken...

Oh my, I set out to get a sense of the breadth of applied statistics tools, aka “AI”, out there that specifically cater to students and academics. Someone compiled a well-structured list on a Miro board, here: https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVJebunIU=/?share_link_id=534322327957
Then I went on to check "SciSpace", ended up testing the literature review "agent". Result: Shallow, at best.
And eventually I found the paper writing assistant, which quite openly says what it does "Autocomplete your thoughts"....

Da steckt viel drin, auch, um im eigenen Bibliotheksumfeld Bewusstsein zu schaffen. 💪

Wir als #NetzwerkGrüneBibliothek Aktive werden darüber mehr berichten, Code of Conduct unterzeichnet! Ein Anfang!

This narrows the horizon of intelligence to tasks that can be accomplished with pattern recognition, prediction from data, and the like. We fear this could set limits for human aspirations and for core ideals like knowledge, creativity, imagination, and democracy—making for a poorer, more constrained human future."

How AI Sets Limits for Human Aspiration

Translating everything into technology’s terms will continue to narrow viewpoints, hamper human aspirations, and foreclose possible futures.
