About this episode
Tom and Lisa discuss my response to a call for chapters on "AI-free research", a new Routledge volume championing slow, handmade scholarship against the fast-food promises of AI-driven analysis.
The resistance is understandable—AI promises fast-food solutions to problems that demand slow, careful thought. But rejecting AI entirely isn't the answer.
Listen to the podcast to find out. I've added clarifications when Tom and Lisa miss the mark—a reminder of what happens when we leave AI unsupervised.
