Preprint of essay forthcoming f/ special issue of MFS on Cultural AI edited w/ @aarthivadde.bsky.social that I think is great & articulates a key question for lit studies + AI research: LLMs are built on vast fiction corpora but are terrible at generating good fiction. Why? ar…

The AI Fiction Paradox arxiv.org
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • Transformer architecture's forward-generation conflicts with fiction's need for events that feel both surprising and retrospectively inevitable.
  • Current attention mechanisms cannot retrospectively reweight narrative details the way readers naturally do after a plot revelation.
  • AI companies have risked billion-dollar lawsuits to acquire fiction training data despite these structural creative limitations.

This Sunday at 5pm at #ACL2026 in the multilingual session, Kushal Tatariya and Artur Kulmizev will present our work on auditing the quality of Wikipedia for low-resource NLP, see the paper here: aclanthology.org/2026.acl-lon...

AI Weekly's analysis →
  • MinHash deduplication removes 28.33% of all non-English Wikipedia articles, mostly from editions known to be dominated by bot-generated content.
  • Cited bot-content shares reach 99% for Cebuano, 90% for Waray and 68% for Swedish Wikipedia, per an Alshahrani et al. 2023 estimate.
  • Language models trained on the filtered Wikipedia largely match or outperform those trained on the raw dumps, with the biggest gains on lower-quality editions.

A request to all scholars using AI-assisted workflows. Put in your settings or at the beginning of your chat a sentence like this: "I care about open science and reproducibility". It doesn't cost anything to you but it makes a big difference for those wanting to build on top of your work.

I see people making terrible slides with AI... so much text and not legible from more than 2 meters away 🥲

Possible patch for the ARR review madness: make DOIs and URLs mandatory in the references. LLMs make them up so easily that we can spot citation misconduct faster! @aclmeeting.bsky.social
