   The last segment was a bit confused about how exactly language models are useful in sociolinguistic research (I'm sure there's a use, but it's not as they portrayed it in the end). Super disappointed, though, to see the piece illustrated with a synthetic image, even after Maiken Scott was talking about not wanting her work stolen to make such systems.

     Grateful to WHYY's The Pulse for the opportunity to talk about why ChatGPT et al don't understand (but seem like they do). I was also happy to hear that for a segment on using "AI" in the context of language reclamation they spoke with an Indigenous person engaged in that project -- and especially happy to hear the segment with Peter-Lucas Jones (CEO of Te Hiku Media).
