wondering about this post

Oooh. Well now that there are martinis involved I’m happy to join that class :cocktail_glass:

You’re on. My most recent trips to Maine (a quarter century ago!) were confined to the coast, but I went to Baxter State Park when I was a kid (way more than a quarter century ago!).

Gods, me too. Long boring story, but I wouldn’t want to be there now

Thanks but that isn’t what I was asking. I wanted the human responses to this question to better understand what humans were responding to.

Anyone can plug something into GenAi for a response but using AI for AI detection isn’t telling me what initially inspires the effort.

But thanks Guy to the third power.

As a media studies academic myself— with speciality in documentary— I am reluctant to suggest assigning documentaries unless also set up for analysis but I recommend Coded Bias which will also help diversify your syllabus. It’s not news centric and it sounds like you’re only working with news but it brings interesting chances to do social analyses of technology.

For news, I think Laura Basu’s Media Amnesia is accessible. Barbie Zelizer is great (although not working on the most recent stuff gives insight into longer standing issues in reportage.)

Sorry— I geek about about this stuff

Thank you for the suggestions! I appreciate your input. Feel free to DM me with more - I am still finding my own “voice” with this.

I posted the initial query because I was involved in the original thread, found the intensity of the post weird and disquieting, the poster seemingly imaginary and then it disappeared…was wondering how much HO faces of this sort of traffic. responses have been interesting.

Thanks for answering! The intensity really was something although sometimes you get those people who fancy themselves excellent writers but are just one rhetorical flourish after another.

ChatGPT dropping a dime on AI! That makes me think of the fox guarding the henhouse!
