@bmatb Interesting, hadn’t thought of it in that way. This other piece popped up in my feed, which (as a non-academic) I liked, asking about the purpose of writing assignment and the need for a shift in writing rubrics/assessments.
Outside of academia, it occurs to me that agencies and businesses are going to use this stuff to continue to replace human customer service, too 😕
@Stressrelated @cbdawson @bmatb Yes, businesses are already using voice recognition and chat bots to divert most customer service requests to getting answers from an AI/ML system. I have been defeated several times when I wanted to talk with a person.
@EricFielding @Stressrelated @cbdawson @bmatb To get a human, develop a speech impediment. I lisped as a child, and was trained out of it, but it's still kinda there. Enough so that voice recognition doesn't get me.
@agterrane @Stressrelated @cbdawson @bmatb Yes, sometimes my wife has better success with the voice recognition systems, probably because she has a significant accent of a non-native English speaker.
