It's done! After playing Misericorde Vol. 2, I dashed out of bed half-asleep to doodle the basic concept for this fanart using the other sides of the embroidery to symbolize duality and self-erasure.
Single-strand cotton embroidery floss on cotton muslin, with printed cotton applique. Crappy phone pics but eventually I'll scan her.
Still toying with the idea of painting Hedwig's robes "black" (grey) with watered-down ink or acrylic paint. What do you guys think?

nothing has made me feel like an ancient grumpy crone more than the “using chatgpt for school is fine actually” sentiment among youths
if you use chatgpt to write your english assignments that is bad. you should not do that
this has been accelerated by watching my roommate who teaches freshmen composition slowly become ben_affleck_smoking.jpg as he has to fail multiple students every semester for using chatgpt
like. this is bad and this person should feel bad lol this completely misses the point of writing assignments. the point is the production, not the end product
critical thinking is a genuinely important life skill, whether or not you pursue higher education. fascism relies on anti-intellectualism!
AND IT’S TERRIBLE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. what are we doing here
Your ability to think for yourself is one of the most valuable powers you have, and one of the only things no one can take away from you.
Do not give it away willingly.
How does this stuff not count as plagiarism?
It is plagiarism, and it's plagiarism even if you disclosed that you used chatgpt, because chatgpt cannot cite its sources and plagiarism in academia is less about "intellectual property" like disney type shit and more about being able to trace an idea back to where it came from.
Without the power to follow a line of citations back to the original source, human knowledge falls apart like a sand castle. You cant criticize an idea if you don't know where it came from. You cant even tell if it's true. If there is no source, you don't know if it came from a reputable scientific journal or some pamphlet titled Why White People Are The Superior Race.
i think some professors are well meaningly openminded about these technologies and don't really truly understand how they work. Which is not their fault, the technologies have been consistently called something they're not.
ChatGPT creates sentences based on probabilities of what words are likely to go together. This is especially dangerous because it's likely to say things that "everyone knows," things that lots of people believe, the very things that seem the most innocuous simply because they're commonplace, and are the most dangerously wrong because they're commonplace.
ChatGPT's training data contains all of the racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, and other prejudice, hatred, and bigotry of the society that produced that data. The developers can stop ChatGPT from saying slurs and other disgusting stuff its training data certainly provides, but censoring the filth that is present within this machine really makes it more dangerous: the bigotry is still there, it's just that the text will only be generated if the bigotry is subtle enough to escape these filters.
If ChatGPT's training data shows that someone named "John" is more likely to be described as "brilliant" or "great" or "strong" and someone named Mary is more likely to be described as "pretty," it's going to make sentences that reflect that. If the data shows a statistical correlation between the words "Muslim" or "Islam" and the words "extremism" or "war," it's going to put those words together more often. Can we see how this might be a problem

Last semester one of my professors said essentially "chatgpt will probably give you c- level work. If that's what you want, feel free to use it" and from then on any other Al policy seemed backwards and annoying to me.
Like if Al does a bad job, just grade the paper and give them the bad grade they deserve. If a student is regularly using Al to produce A-level work they probably know what they're doing to some extent and are using it as a tool.

yes yes all of this. i was recently in a training to teach composition at the undergrad level and one of the older professors was touting chatgpt as a useful tool for outlining. as in: have students outline their 1.5k word papers thru chatgpt and then they write it from there.
and i had to stop myself from screaming. because NO ! the skill of organizing your thoughts and following Your Own Logic and Your Own Argument from one point to another is SO FUCKING IMPORTANT !! ITS MORE THAN THE FUCKING PAPER !! ITS YOUR ABILITY TO THINK CRITICALLY ABOUT YOUR OWN THOUGHTS AND LOGICS !! ABOUT FOLLOWING YOUR JUSTIFICATIONS FORWARD AND BACKWARD !!
like i understand that more and more students come to university ill-prepared. trust you me, i see it every week in my students. but continuing to teach short cuts as though they are the path only exacerbates the issue.
it goes like this:
the student is unsure how to organize their thoughts, so they ask chatgpt. chatgpt churns out something they think is workable. they do not have the exposure to language to know or notice that there are gaping bullet wounds in this object chatgpt has shat out. they use it and hand the work in. their exhausted professor has already sent seven papers to be assessed for AI plagiarism in the last month. the professor gives it the most generous grade they can (usually a D, in my experience). the student is disappointed and still has not learned how to organize their thoughts. they shuffle into the next class. they have to write a longer, more complex paper and are STILL unsure how to organize their thoughts. so they ask chatgpt.
on and on we turn. for some students, their writing skills have been in a state of prolonged atrophy since their freshman year of HIGH SCHOOL. and now they’re coming to undergrad where there are real fuckin consequences (including being suspended and expelled) for using chatpgt but this tool has become the only way they know how to approach writing. they are scared shitless, convinced they have nothing to say, certain they have no idea how to say it, and confident they can’t learn how to do any differently. and now i have to convince them to sit through fifteen weeks of composition and work these muscles they haven’t applied to an academic setting in years.
