#contraai — Public Fediverse posts

Ich erhebe weiter Beobachtungsdaten zu #KI. Mein Eindruck wird auch in diesem Fall bestätigt: es wird einfach nie konkretisiert, was das den Geisteswissenschaften bringen soll. An keiner Stelle. Gleichzeitig wird der Sinn des Schreibens wieder verkannt. Sad #ContraAI🤖

Another #ContraAI🤖 book I am reading not because I want to, but because I have to: we have an obligation - as anthropologists, educators & parents - to inform ourselves as best we can to understand that #LLM is not a language and #AI not intelligent. @[email protected] s book is a must-read. A 🧵.

Received this "offer" in my mail. Do NOT do this if you work with your own (or other's) qualitative data! In my opinion this is a clear breach of trust and - in cases where ethical consent forms were signed - a breach of contract, too. #ContraAI🤖 #academia #ethics #highereducation #anthropology

"We must avoid the 'Babel syndrome,' the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance." #ContraAI🤖

What the hell did I just read? #ContraAI🤖

Re-reading Barthes on the difference between authors & writers to come up with arguments #ContraAI🤖 There is a disposition of ‘author-ness’ in all of us, but it needs to be cultivated. If authors can no longer write (& thus no longer die), they will become ghosts of the writing machine that is AI.

I have noted 3 ways of how academia relates to #AI a) AI is the future and everything will be great; b) we are doomed and we can't win against AI; c) who cares about AI ? So I have started to gather texts on AI, esp. academic ones. Best of collection ⬇️ #ContraAI 🤖 judithbeyer.com/2025/10/30/c...

#ContraAI 🤖 “It’s also illuminating to learn, one repetition at a time, that there are various paths to success”. Lovely article that highlights the need to NOT succeed immediately and keep trying until one has found one’s own path. AI is self-depowerment (my term) www.newyorker.com/culture/open...

#ContraAI 🤖 #LLMs are biased towards gender and race. In other words: they duplicate the inequalities that exist in real life. This study shows how a language model’s hidden bias leads to suggesting lower starting salaries for women than for men. #genderpaygap arxiv.org/pdf/2506.10491

#ContraAI 🤖 @nature.com Reviews Bioengineering Editorial states that “human-generated scientific writing” is thinking and #LLMs lack accountability and are therefore not authors. It’s striking to have to say this in 2025, but that it’s being said, is a good thing. www.nature.com/articles/s44...
