☝️This is how I‘m feeling.

For everyone who has tagged me or commented on one of my posts in the last week, I‘m not deliberately ignoring you. I‘ve had to come to Adelaide to take care of my parents who are struggling at the moment. I don‘t have any time, energy or, indeed, brain space for Litsying or even reading right now.

rockpools Sending love, strength, calm and a few hours to yourself. Look after yourself, Carolyn🤗 27m

This is the kind of stupid stuff you do when retired. I believe I outsmarted ChatGPT with a long division problem. It actually apologized to me THREE times until it came up with the correct answer. I wouldn't worry about AI taking over our lives. Yet. 👀🤩😎

julesG 😂😂 10h
TrishB I can‘t get through a meeting without talking about this! I did some work via it and what came out was like something I‘d have written when I was 16. 10h

TheLudicReader I had my first incident with a student using it for an assignment. 🫤 7h
dabbe @TrishB So if a 16-year old student of mine wrote something like it, would I be happy as a teacher (if I didn't know the kid used AI but thought that he/she/they actually did the work)? If so, that's scary. 😳 7h
dabbe @TheLudicReader #ruhroh How did it go? 7h
SaunteringVaguelyDownwards Yeah, it's pretty easy to spot ChatGPT writing once you see a bunch of examples. It's all very surface level, when it's not making up quotes and sources. Colin Melody (of the Decemberists) has one my favorite takes on it: https://colinmeloy.substack.com/p/i-had-chatgpt-write-a-decemberists 6h
dabbe @SaunteringVaguelyDownwards I love it! When it comes to creativity, what AI lacks is “intuition.“ Exactly. Thanks for that article!

It also (apparently) can't do basic math, which is completely factual. Every time I questioned, it did the problem differently and showed the work in a chaotic way. I still can't figure out out it came up with the first two answers that were wrong.
6h
TrishB No I wouldn‘t be happy either! It‘s hard work for all of us. (I work in a uni). But if it‘s there we have to try and address that, it‘s not going away. 2h

This was my second display in my new role as Library officer at our school. ❤️💛🖤
Keep up the momentum for change. Be a voice for generations. The theme encourages all Australians to be a voice for reconciliation in tangible ways in our everyday lives -where we live, work and socialise. For the work of generations past and the benefit of generations future, act today for a more just equitable and reconciled country for all. ⬇️

Rissreads We also had a huge display of books about country written by indigenous authors and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander flags flying. (edited) 1d

Quick question: Do any of you find it difficult when a literature list of best children's books includes both picture and chapter ones? I just don't know how to compare THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR with THE LORD OF THE RINGS in the same list. How about best picture books and best chapter books? Or am I being too anal? Here's the link:
https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20230522-the-100-greatest-childrens-books-of...

TheBookgeekFrau Definitely not too anal. Those two books don't belong on the same list 3d
BarkingMadRead Definitely not too anal!! They need two lists, at least! 3d
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Not at all anal. I think it's funny that they're using a very broad definition of children's books, especially in a time when we have picture books, chapter books, middle grade, young adult, and I'm sure there are other genre distinctions I'm missing. To me, the LOTR, Harry Potter, and Narnia series just can't be compared to The Very Hungry Caterpillar. What a 3 year old reads & what a 13 years old reads are badly different. 2d

June 2023 #bookspin bingo board. Since I still don‘t know what I feel like reading most days, I‘m using spaces for my physical TBR shelf to try & get through some of them. I have spaces open for audio books since I‘ll see what I can borrow from the library/Libby. We are going to the beach at the end of the month so now I need to decide what to bring (I need good books to deflect my MIL who is also renting a house at the same beach).

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Looks great!! 3d

Here is my June #BookSpinBingo board. With the placement of the free spaces this month, there is no reason why I can't manage multiple bingos. Time will tell. Note that I need to finish Space to a vertical bingo in the far right column. I have been working on it since January. Will this be the month I finally finish it?

#WondrousWednesday
@Eggs

1. THE ILIAD, though the version I read wasn't published in BCE. 🤣
2. I think 3 is a good minimum to maybe 7. I gave up on the Stephanie Plum series by J. Evanovitch and the Alphabet series by Sue Grafton because there were just too damn many of them, and the same plot devices got old.
3. The HARRY POTTER series and the LORD OF THE RINGS series. I loved being in those worlds.
