Dr Surekha Davies, Historical Monster Consultant (she/her)
@drsurekhadavies.bsky.social
about 1 hour agoMy work on illustrated maps & history of monsters makes the *opposite* arguments to what most people assume it makes. Yet I'm often cited as allegedly saying exactly what I don't.
People *assume* I'm saying: map images are decoration/propaganda; monsters were always bad/imagined.

I think this post nails the actual problem, for researchers at least—AI hallucinations would simply not be a problem in academic work if we’d not normalized citation-as-signaling rather than actual engagement—you can only cite a fake paper if you’re not in the habit of reading the papers you cite

Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵 Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

The future of college papers is going to be divided between students coasting by with AI, producing identical papers without original thoughts and doing just enough to pass, and students actually doing the hard work of research and developing their own work iteratively with professors. #AcademicSky

Y'all what is the current consensus about requiring students to submit assignments as a link to their Sharepoint or Google docs (so you can see their version history)?

University Gen AI requirements coming this Fall. So many thoughts. "Partnerships " At least there is "Recognize and communicate clearly about AI, ... as well as recognizing the influence and consequences of AI in decision-making..."

#academicsky #phdSky Shocker. Are people just not reading papers any more. I find it hard enough to cite something I’ve skim-read never mind citing something I’ve not read because it doesn’t exist

My motto coming down the home stretch of this especially hectic semester was based on the lyrics to a Gin Blossoms' song
If you don't expect too much from me, you might not be let down 🎶

IMO it should be an academic integrity policy violation to pressure a professor to change a grade on the sole basis of wanting/needing a higher GPA for a future opportunity.
Do any universities have a policy like that, prohibiting frivolous/corrupt grade appeals?

Another tangent on the citation discussion: I've done real searches for real papers that I've read, including those by less visible scholars. But journal page limits & academic norms in social science penalize serious real comprehensive empirical lit reviews. #AcademicSky
