Early Word Galley Chat #ewgc –where librarians talk about great upcoming books– has moved entirely back to Twitter/X so here are 7 galleys I want to download after yesterday's chat! #alttext for details! #bookstodon#ARC#TBR#books@bookstodon@librarians
US’ #NIH Australia’s #ARC : 'NO’ to ChatGPT for peer-review
US' #NSF and Europe's #ERC mulling it over with working groups.
Concerns:
*Privacy/Piracy “the information becomes part of its training data. ” (why I don’t chatGPT though I really hate writing)
*Error ”AI-written reviews will be error-prone"
*Bias ”against non-mainstream views”
*Boring "lack … creativity “
Most proposals go through ‘panel review’ where ALL the proposals submitted to a call are reviewed by ~30 of their peers. Usually, there is one primary & 2-3 tertiary reviewers who evaluate the proposal before the panel review. During the review, each primary reviewer presents opinions on study feasibility, proposers qualifications, potential significance. Then the tertiary reviewers chime in.
At the end the whole panel grades each proposal & only the ‘best’ (<10%) get funded.
@atthenius That sure sounds to me like something you can fake, but not do, with ChatGPT. Looking at the article it seems it was about individual participants replacing their contributions, not the whole process being replaced. The latter would be dumb but the former strikes me as straight-up fraud. The reason they're asking scientists to do this review and not random people off the street capable of forming a sentence is that they're relying on the scientist's opinion based on their expertise - neither of which ChatGPT has, and if it did it still wouldn't be that scientist's.
Just downloaded an #ARC of MAKING IT IN AMERICA by Rachel Slade from Pantheon/PRH. I'm fascinated by the topics of American manufacturing, offshoring, consumer behavior, economics, all that stuff! #nonfiction#business#economics#bookstodon#books@bookstodon
Early Word Galley Chat #ewgc where librarians talk about great upcoming books has moved back to Twitter/X so here are some galleys I am determined to get after yesterday's chat! #bookstodon#ARC#books@bookstodon@librarians
Katherine Arden of Winternight Trilogy fame has written a WWI novel called THE WARM HANDS OF GHOSTS. After a week of books that just were not it, I’m settling into this #ARC with great pleasure. #bookstodon#fantasy#sff@bookstodon
i am confused... it looked like i had to create an #arc account and assumed it would be for sync, but now the settings state that the sidebar is synced with icloud 🤨
...but maybe thats just the arrangement? hm
