Can you spot an essay written by AI? #oldaily https://www.downes.ca/post/79850 This is important: "To say there is a definitive checklist approach to AI detection is unreliable, and at times dangerous."

It will also be the final year of the final year of the HASTAC Scholars, the student version of the network.

Theory of collective mind #oldaily https://www.downes.ca/post/79848 I've been doing some background reading on the concepts of collective experience, collective consciousness, and collective mind.

OpenAI launches Dots, its Muse competitor #oldaily https://www.downes.ca/post/79847 OpenAI has launched Dots, "a customizable AI assistant capable of browsing the web, making purchases, generating documents, tracking goals, and more." This article frames it as a response to Meta's AI assistant called Muse. The plan seems to be to get people addicted, then upsell. "OpenAI notes that conversations with your Dot won’t count toward ChatGPT usage limits.
