  1. My colleague Dr N sends me his ideas for a re-design of a course for which we are jointly responsible. 50 pages of detailed analysis, perfectly layouted with colour-coding and all the bells and whistles. Written in a strange style, unusually slick for a memo, in a slightly-off language with an undertone of management jargon and false poetry. Sentences like this: "The course has a strong academic spine." Spine? Who the hell talks like this?

    You can see where this is heading, can't you? My colleague Dr N asked ChatGPT to write a course analysis, with recommendations, then (after some editing) dumped the output on me. He has confirmed it to me.

    Nauseating. Quite literally: nauseating. I feel actual physical revulsion in my stomach.

    The way we live now.
