ACM Digital Library’s AI generated summaries of articles letter

[Email sent to the ACM Digital Library team]

Dear Digital Library team,

ACM is my preferred publisher and I love the digital library, it has been the best resource for computer science papers.

I am deeply distressed and offended to find that the ACM Digital Library is now going to provide AI generated summaries of papers I have written. This is not something to which I have, or would consent. This adds no value to articles which already have abstracts, written by real humans who understood the paper. The use of Generative AI in general is deeply problematic in a huge variety of ways, and in this instance I consider that it would be immoral for me to consent to this. Implying that using generative AI is somehow OK or normative where my students would see it is deeply problematic as it is already destroying their ability to learn anything.

My view is that the ACM should focus on getting the fundamentals right, rather than expensive gimmicks like this. For example, the advanced search tool only lets you filter by journals, not conference proceedings on the initial search page, though you can filter by them on the search results page. So there are clearly basic, useful, and uncontroversial features left to implement

Please roll back this feature immediately, or at least make it opt-in if you must do it.

Thank you & best wishes,

Daniel

Ít ai biết, trụ sở của Internet Archive - thư viện số phi lợi nhuận lớn nhất thế giới, nơi lưu trữ hơn 1.000 tỷ trang web toàn cầu - lại được đặt bên trong một nhà thờ cổ có tuổi đời hơn 100 năm.

Đang tìm giải pháp lưu trữ sách PDF tự host? Đã thử Booklore (RAM quá cao, OIDC chưa ổn) và CWA (lỗi đăng nhập, tài liệu không rõ ràng). Cần: access đa thiết bị, không cần OPDS/autodownload, OIDC ưu tiên. Nên dùng Nextcloud/Seafile không? #SelfHosting #PDFManager #TechVN #Nextcloud #OIDC #DigitalLibrary

🥳 Oh look, a GitHub treasure trove of "free" programming books! 🤓 Because who wouldn't *totally* want to spend their free time digging through a digital library while simultaneously being serenaded by AI's questionable coding advice? 📚🤖

Giảm dần việc làm thủ công bằng Z-Library (chat Telegram), Syncthing (synchronizeserver) và OPDS (b octubre e-reader). Lí giác tự chủ, mã nguồn mở, ít cài đặt, chia sẻ được với gia đình.
