#AI may indeed exacerbate our bad academic habits:
#LLM science summaries were nearly five times more likely than human-authored science summaries to contain broad generalizations (95% CI [3.06, 7.70], p < 0.001).
And newer models over-generalized more; not less!

A marvelous thread of textile designs! Makes me think of a possible assignment for next year's Data Visualization with Textiles: put together a selection of patterns/stitches/etc. and have students pick some and think about how they'd work them to represent data. #DHmakes
