Anna Pryslopska<p>Yesterday, I explained to my students that yes, their <a href="https://scholar.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> copy-and-paste skills are poor and how to use AI tools for the better. I showed them these two slides, contrasting human and human-like language. The students were adamant that one cannot tell the difference.

Dr Pen<p>Woke up the PC, get this. Again. Third or fourth time. Can't stop it, just 'remind me later'.</p><p>In the past this would have been considered malware.

Leah Price<p>Received reader’s report whose language/structure show chatbot participation, but not what extent/stage: reviewer could have fed in my draft; or could have read it themselves before feeding their notes into LLM to phrase report; or something somewhere between those poles. Like most reader's reports by humans, this one combines some helpful suggestions with some unhelpful tangents. A. Should I care? B. Should I use the same method to respond to reader’s report? <a href="https://historians.social/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLM</span></a> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/academicchatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>academicchatter</span></a> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/Reviewer1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Reviewer1</span></a></p>

Dr Pen<p>Essential reading on the massive scale commercial con of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Turnitin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Turnitin</span></a> (and the new <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> detection con). Ive railed about the Turnitin con for years. Somehow, as the saying goes: 'I told you so' doesn't really cover it. Im proud to say I have NEVER used Turnitin in any of my lectures, either the earlier period 2007-2015 or 2017/20 and then in Malta in 2022/23. The last 2 periods Turnitin was meant to be mandatory. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>academia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/academicchatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>academicchatter</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2025/06/ai-detector/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">calmatters.org/education/highe</span><span class="invisible">r-education/2025/06/ai-detector/</span></a></p>
Richard<p>In which the authors argue "Culture is not ecology" - I disagree and there are many scholars far smarter than I am who also disagree, but it is worth reading their argument, if only it was <a href="https://allmyneighbors.earth/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAccess</span></a>, but of course it is not.

Starbeamrainbowlabs<p>I don't know how to word it, but mental health issues in academia are frighteningly common, and often are caused by the system.

pjw<p>Hi, academics, <br>I have a question that is somewhat important for understanding the treatment of some untenured folks at a university. </p><p>This question is specifically aimed for academics who are working in a country where they are not citizens: How much, if any, assistance did/does your university provide with your necessary visa requirements? (I was going to do a poll but its probably too fine-grained of answers.)</p><p>Please share if relevant!</p><p><a href="https://social.coop/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>academia</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/academicchatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>academicchatter</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/academics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>academics</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/academic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>academic</span></a></p>
