This study provides robust empirical validation for the folk adage that “stolen food tastes better,” demonstrating that unauthorized acquisition of French fries amplifies hedonic perception in quantifiable and psychologically nuanced ways.

Abstract

The rapid evolution of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping higher education (HE), offering transformative opportunities for academic engagement while posing significant challenges to academic integrity, ethical frameworks, and global research power dynamics. This study maps the recent (2022-2025) research landscape of GenAI in HE through a bibliometric analysis of 2762 articles from the Web of Science Core Collection. Employing multipolarity as an analytical lens, this study examines the power dynamics within this research domain reflected by publication records from different countries (or regions). Findings highlight surging global interest in GenAI in HE, with contributions led by the US, China, and the UK, alongside rising participation from non-Western scholars and institutions. By identifying the major topics, this study uncovers a more nuanced trajectory of GenAI-related discourse in HE. By examining publication status, contributors, and research topics, this study provides insights for stakeholders navigating the complexities of GenAI integration into HE and suggests trajectories for future research in this rapidly evolving field.

And my #colleague @WordsByWesInk has alerted me to this that you'll want to read too: an article from Iris van Rooij on the mess #ScienceDirect is making by adding links from terms in published articles going to #inaccurate #LLM-generated definitions. https://irisvanrooijcogsci.com/2025/08/12/ai-slop-and-the-destruction-of-knowledge/

"AI Summaries" have infested #ScienceDirect now with their inaccurate but confidently-formulated statements... Fortunately some people are fighting back, like @Iris who emailed them about it:

AI slop and the destruction of knowledge

We should all do the same until they remove these "summaries"!

ScienceDirect wants to solve world poverty 😇 by cutting resource use by 70%—because who needs "decent" living standards anyway? 🤔 Meanwhile, their website can't even provide content without a 404 error. 🚫

If you're using a #QT #Webengine based browser like me (@qutebrowser or #Falkon), #Elsevier 's #ScienceDirect website may cause issues because they "only support the last 3 releases" of most browsers. Luckily, they use the user agent to detect the browser. So, a workaround is to use something like this, with a new enough version for the #Chrome version:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) QtWebEngine/6.8.2 Chrome/132.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Das ist das, was wir letztlich mit unseren Bibliotheksverträgen mit subventionieren: die enormen Verdienstspannen im Wissenschaftsbereich helfen die Kriegskasse zu füllen, mit der dann der Markt leergekauft wird von Spyware, KI-Tools und Spezialisten für Verhaltensbiometrie. Der Verlagsbereich ist davon auch nicht abgetrennt: #ThreatMetrix, womit 4,5 Mrd. digitale Geräte individuell identifiziert werden können, war mindestens zeitweise auch auf #ScienceDirect installiert.

Wir sind ja die Guten.

So, the #NAHSL (North Atlantic Health Sciences Libraries) keynote is about the new @sparc privacy analysis of #Elsevier #ScienceDirect. Should be very interesting!
