As someone who was involved in some of the discussions around this mess, it is as bad as it sounds, maybe even worse. Wiley has gone PCI-hostile based on completely incoherent arguments.

This is a fascinating decision. Wiley manages quite a lot of journals in the developmental psychology space, so this seems to be a massive negative for the field.

In Chapter 2, we cover the history and traditions of research on cross-cultural childhood learning, noting the narrow framework of the western lens. We highlight how disciplines have come together to deepen our understanding of this topic. www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.116...

This paper makes important point that we're not talking about impact of AI on reading enough. Marking work that's full of AI is demoralising but in some ways, the threat AI poses to comprehension is bigger than the threat to what students produce... www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #AcademicSky

Bear all of this in mind when someone starts parroting in your direction all the utopian and progressive-buzzword-laden talk about AI’s potentials. I’m looking at you, fellow academics.

Wait what you can’t improve literacy by banning books and making children talk to statistical sentence fragment generators instead of humans?
