AI text detectors tend to flag text from non-native speakers as AI generated
  • Completely disagree - a lot of non-native speakers have excellent grasp of grammar, precisely because they have learnt the rules. Native speakers rely on stuff sounding right, rather than necessarily knowing the rules. But following grammatical rules rigidly is exactly what I would expect both from a genAI and a non-native speaker (as well as avoiding figurative speech and idioms).

  • ‘Times change’: what authors think about rewriting older books
  • But Jacqueline Wilson is specifically talking about children's books, where that disclaimer won't be particularly helpful (FWIW I completely agree for adult books). I think Pullman has the right idea - allowing the books to go out of print is the right approach here, but won't be adopted for obvious reasons

  • Advice on where to live

    Hi there,

    I will be moving to Boston with my wife and our two year old. I will be working in Cambridge (Kendall/MIT being the closest transit stop). I was wondering what would be some good places to live when our budget is about 4000 USD/mo. Ideally we would like to have access to a garden, but not being too far from the city. Any advice gratefully received.
