One suggestion for professors concerned about AI usage aside from in-class, handwritten writing assignments is that you work with your colleagues to propose curricular changes. A good start would be bringing back required library and research skills courses as a cornerstone of your major reqs

Starting to really build my summer course on #Poetry & #Formalisms (a lit & theory seminar, not creative writing) & looking for some ideas from others. Would anyone be willing to share their syllabus for an upper-level/grad course on Poetry?

Today is the feast of the mid-9c. Mercian martyr Wigstan (Wystan), patron saint of the church at Repton, which is a place very dear to me. (I may or may not be writing a novel based on Repton.) For manuscript evidence of Wigstan, let's look at @parkerlibcccc.bsky.social MS 201, p149. 🧵 #medievalsky

Fuck AI. I don't care if you have any sort of excuse. Generative AI is built on an ethos of theft and harm. For art. For the world. For individual people. I had no say in this. I didnt give consent. I had my likeness and body taken and turned into some slug's wretched vision of a lie with my face.

I’ve been thinking a lot about whether the AI discourse is a moral panic and the conclusion I’ve reached is that most moral panics are stupid (newspapers) and/or bigoted (dance music) but a handful are 100% justifiable.
