Chicago Style Hallucinations ft. John Duncan

This week, we’re joined by writer, academic and creator John Duncan to talk about the effects Large Language Models are having on academic writing and research. John talks about the growing number of AI hallucinations that are appearing in academic papers and articles and what it reveals about the poor working and pay conditions of academics in the UK and around the world. John also talks about the dangers this poses to future research and knowledge production, which might be bad if we ever face a public health crisis again. We also talk about the Pope’s Encyclical on the AI industry, why it’s less radical or revolutionary than has been reported, and why any notion of ‘ethical AI’ should be disregarded.  Subscribe to John’s channel: https://www.youtube.com/@JohntheDuncan support John on Patreon! : https://www.patreon.com/johntheduncan ------- PALESTINE  AID LINKS -You can donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians and other charities using the links below. https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donate https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/how-you-can-help/emergencies/gaza-israel-conflict -Palestinian Communist Youth Union, which is doing a food and water effort, and is part of the official communist party of Palestine https://www.gofundme.com/f/to-preserve-whats-left-of-humanity-global-solidarity -Water is Life, a water distribution project in North Gaza affiliated with an Indigenous American organization and the Freedom Flotilla https://www.waterislifegaza.org/ -Vegetable Distribution Fund, which secured and delivers fresh veg, affiliated with Freedom Flotilla also https://www.instagram.com/linking/fundraiser?fundraiser_id=1102739514947848 -Thamra, which distributes herb and veg seedlings, repairs and maintains water infrastructure, and distributes food made with replanted veg patches https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-thamra-cultivating-resilience-in-gaza -------- PHOEBE ALERT Okay, now that we have your attention; check out her Substack Here!
