A recent paper attributes ChatGPT’s launch with a 2% drop in monthly contracts and 5.2% drop in monthly income for writing-related freelancers on Upwork. There’s certainly been an impact, but I’m not convinced by these numbers.

I’ll touch on why below, and there’s more detail on my blog: https://www.wordsbywes.ink/articles/freelancing/notes-on-the-short-term-effects-of-generative-artificial-intelligence-on-employment-evidence-from-an-online-labor-market/

Question about in work: Where does one put the author in citations, in which THE WORK is included in the sentence, as in (a) vs (b) below?

(a) "... which you can find in Chomsky (1981)"
(b) "... which you can find in (Chomsky, 1981)"

@tschfflr @linguistics Since it's in narrative, almost certainly option a. It ultimately depends on the style the journal uses, but I can't think of a style that uses option b in narrative.

New post: Tools I Use: Zotero
This is the first in a series of posts where I’ll talk about the tools I use in my editing and writing. In this piece, I’m going to talk about citation management, specifically with Zotero.

I’ve used a few other citation managers, but Zotero is my go-to. I use it to store and keep track of my own reading pile, to keep the list of manuscripts I’ve worked on, and to manage refs for clients’ manuscripts.

New post: LLM-Generated Text Still Can’t Be Copyrighted
A federal judge ruled Friday that AI-generated art is not eligible for copyright. Here, I cover that ruling and speculate on how copyright protection for AI-generated work might eventually play out.
