Is it possible to work on AI as a computer scientist and not reinforce the hype? Question for @Alex Hanna at a great event at the [@Weizenbaum_Institut]( ). She has “no good news”. Among other concerns, the hype is creating a monoculture in research that draws away resources for actually useful topics. Very much looking forward to reading “The AI Con” by her and fabulous @Prof. Emily M. Bender(she/her)! Will use “synthetic content extrusion machine” from now on. image
