Generative Artificial Intelligence
With a continuous growth of GenAI applications that can assist with tasks such as writing, translating or summarizing texts, brainstorming, creating images, music, videos or finding information, it is important to keep these considerations in mind:
Privacy : Do not upload personal data, other person's information or copyrighted documents such as online articles from library's databases
Reliability : Evaluate all AI outputs to make sure they are accurate, complete, coherent, non-biased, up-to-date
Transparency : Disclose and explain any use of GenAI application(s) in your academic work

Copilots for Linguists: AI, Constructions, and Frames
The authors do not focus on whether AIs “understand” language. Rather, they investigate whether AI LLM chatbots are useful tools for linguists. They reframe the discussion from what AI LLM chatbots can do with language to what they can do for linguists. They find that a chatty LLM can labor usefully as an eliciting interlocutor, and present precise, scripted routines for prompting conversational LLMs.
