In the New Normal™, the human ability to read closely and intentionally is a finite and scarce resource.

The image is a visual representation titled "Why Readers Don't Like AI Writing." It features a comparison between AI writing and human writing, using an iceberg metaphor. The iceberg is divided into two sections, with the visible parts labeled "Text" for both AI and human writing. Below the surface, the human writing iceberg has additional layers labeled "Subtext," "Author Intention," "Contextual Impact," and "Dialectical Participation," suggesting that these elements are not visible in AI writing. The background is a light blue gradient, and the text is in white and black, with arrows indicating the relationship between the visible text and the underlying elements. The overall layout is clean and organized, with a focus on the differences between AI and human writing.

I encourage colleagues who are embedding #SyntheticMachines into workflows to not abandon the #humanities

#AntiPatterns are examples of common solutions to recurring problems.

The solutions are either ineffective or counter-productive.

Since “pattern synthesis” has been rebranded as “AI”, it’s worth revisiting emerging anti-patterns of #SyntheticMachines.

“Sora generates responses based on the data that it has been trained upon, which results in content that is reality-adjacent, but not actually realistic.”

Using a machine to imitate or provoke feelings is like trying to use a hammer, gun, or nuclear technology to show affection.

[T]he definition currently requires regular and substantive interaction between #students and instructors; substantive interactions with machines or other forms of technology that do not involve in [an] instructor would, therefore, not qualify.
