I kinda thought all librarians would be on the same page (against “ai”) but it’s overwhelmingly been, “this is our future.”

Really sad because we should focus on information instead of use. And all the info we have on this is that outside of some specialized uses, this stuff is classist hype that will ruin our planet.

Did Denise start her presentation by saying "Please disregard everything Sylvia and Kate said"?

What "staff development" is possible with technology that is developed to eliminate staff?

They don't want to make librarians more effective, they want to grind them up into dogfood.

That is, frankly, incredible. I think someone with a sense of humour and a point to prove may have made this itinerary.

I actually think that putting these back to back provides an interesting opportunity for immediate point-counterpoint

Any suggestions for what I should say?

I think they meant exploitation and confabulation

@MxRemy @fuck_ai I’m actually taking a misinfo class with Denise this semester and we do talk about AI but not really in a collaboration sense.
