I am conflicted on many academic & ethical levels re. #AcWri & #AcademicCommunication in the business that #HigherEducation has become, but I can't make these tensions explicit on the Bird Site because my presence there is an institutional one and I tread tender ground both there & here.But: this tweet & what it endorses bother me:https://twitter.com/helens_word/status/1633899576720781312- it is self-promotion- it gives a platform to someone who promotes easy fixes to academic communication.Am I just too old school?

@StephZihms thanks for responding, Stephanie - your work on #AcWri looks very interesting!I'll follow up on your book suggestion (is it this one: https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2023/01/13/book-review-written-how-to-keep-writing-and-build-a-habit-that-lasts-by-bec-evans-and-chris-smith/?) but...I'm increasingly uncomfortable with all scholarship that fuels the insatiable academic writing machine. I get that everyone's career is now premised on publishing (including my own & that of my students), but there need to be push-back narratives about the value of writing so much & who is profiting and reading us.

'Nobody asked artists or educationalists what they thought':what's the technology for? How should we train it? Why? To what end? What problems is it resolving? Who is it harming? Why did you not ask us before letting it loose onto the world?'We are in chaos'.#StochasticParrotsDay #gpt #DALLE #HumanRights #Education #Art #ArtificialIntelligence #LLMs

This is a professional cry for help to anyone who knows about this stuff.Why is uploading videos to an institutional Vimeo account from an work MS Teams account failing?- I am trying to make a series of Guest Speaker Videos Open Access;- my institution is helping (with passwords, IT support, etc.) but it's not enough;- I'm getting failed or incomplete uploads and errors.What am I doing wrong/missing?#Vimeo #YouTube#OpenAccess #AcademicCommunication

Dear #MastodonAcademic, have any you budgeted for *writing time* when applying for research funding? I've never seen a grant bid that does so, which suggests that writing is not recognised as the #MethodOfEnquiry it is and is not accounted for in grant time. For example, budgeting for a #WritingRetreat or a project assistant to ensure grant holders have time to at least draft for the dissemination of their findings would seem reasonable to me but ....?#ResearchWriting #AcWri #HigherEducation

Who else is doing research on artificial intelligence and academic writing that is policy and ethics-oriented?Please boost, if you can, as I am hoping to reach #interdisciplinary voices & approaches to this, especially from the so-called #GlobalSouth, namely communities that don't seem to be getting much of a look-in right now on this 'western' concocted concern.#AcWri #AI #gpt #AcademicLiteracies #tleap #AcademicChatter #ResearchWriting #WhatMakesAcademicWritingHuman(e) #MastodonAcademic
