It may seem that LLM or anything “AI” in general will make studying (or learning at schools) easier for students, but harder for institutions bc they have to come up with exams to exclude effects of using those tools and trying to control what’s happening
The effect on the long run will be very different, though: it will get much harder for students as the use of AI is assumed and *expected*. So students are demanded to do much more than that and explicitly show creativity, innovation, etc.

#ChatGPT’s answers can be a little off.
Google is much better at providing facts.
It’s not able to create a true creative work of art.
But it might be just the right kind of tool to help you break through writer’s block and get the creative juices flowing

I'm continuing recent discussions of Spellbreaker over at Gold Machine. Today, I talk about its rising critical fortunes over the years while making general introductions.
Going through my reading list, I rediscovered this interesting interview with Marisa Parham https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/digital-humanities-interview-marisa-parham/:
[…] if I am answering honestly, I do think I am working in the digital humanities. It is so fascinating to me, because I do a lot of very technical things, like programming and coding, and there are people in DH who say “well that's not digital humanities, that's just programming.” And then I do things that are more theoretical and critical, and that isn't considered digital humanities either. This gets to the definitional question of what are we talking about when we use the term “digital humanities.” Is it about method, or about the object of inquiry, or about a tool?

The web is an informational paradise and a hellscape at the same time. But there are concrete ways in which we can protect ourselves from information overload.

It’s always fun to translate French formal closings:
French: En vous remerciant de bien vouloir considérer la présente avec bienveillance, je vous prie de croire, Monsieur le Doyen, à l’assurance de ma considération très distinguée.
English: Thank you for your kind consideration of this letter.
I guess “of this letter” already makes this excessively verbose ;-)
