I had a chat with my supervisor last week on how to get hints that AI has been used in assignments. And I said I have a hunch that if the reports contain the word “Delve”, might be a sign as I have seen it’s been around a lot after ChatGPT came in. Alas! This must be the reason!

ChatGPT overuses certain words, notably "delve" Why? Turns out it was trained by RLHF workers from Africa In Nigeria, “delve” is much more frequently used in business English than in England or the US. So we are ending up with an AI system that writes slightly like an African

It's been 7 months since I completed my PhD confirmation, and I can't help but reflect on how much has changed since then. Life is a journey full of ups and downs, but if you can keep your head up through it all, you'll discover just how strong and capable you really are. #phd

We're testing a new algorithm today to help you form "consistent styles" across your images. Check out our announcement channel for more instructions. It's a totally new & non-lingual way to work with styles & we think it pushes forward the frontiers of aesthetic exploration


It was exciting to be in the audience of this excellent panel discussion led by Yvonne Rogers today, “Beyond Interaction Design: The future of research and practice in UX, Ul and ID”. Thanks, @SIGCHI_Melb, for organising this event, and glad to be a part of the #sigchimelbourne.

It's a mistake to think that the only wins in the #PhD worth celebrating are the big flashy events - submission, acceptance, awards. Here are 30 other wins in the PhD you might think are "no big deal" 🧵 #phdlife #phdchat #academicchatter #academictwitter #phdtips

✨Save your spot! Prof Yvonne Rogers from UCL visiting us at @cis_unimelb for a month, will be giving a talk on "How HCI can meet AI in the I." 📆 Feb 2, 3pm @melbconnect 🤖Register here: go.unimelb.edu.au/89r8 #HCI #AI #UoMEvents


This is an interesting initial study that explores different conversion techniques people use when interacting with GenAI bots. I think this is a good starting point to start discussions on AI engagement. Share your thoughts #AICommunication #GenAI nngroup.com/articles/AI-co…
