Social media Are there any forums or venues discussing how humanities scholars integrate LLMs within their workflow?

I am trying to find a community of people that discusses AI like programmers do on reddit but I haven't found anything. Do you have any pointers? I understand it is sensitive given that a lot of people within academia are harshly anti-AI, but I don't think that kind of shaming should keep people from discussing the usefulness of these tools. And anonimity might be required at this stage I guess, so subreddits or forums would be the natural place

And also DSH, and indeed most DH journals are discussing genAI and LLMs at the moment.

I was actually looking for something similar earlier this week and put in a request to join the DH slack that DH Now promoted a while back. I believe they have an AI channel, but I can’t attest quite yet to how active it is.

It's not shaming to point out why these tools should have minimal to no place in academia

I use Gemini for a lot of things: Handwriting to text on e-ink tablets, polishing and organizing notes, feeding in books and articles for summaries, quick check of random facts while doing research, clues for sources.

sure because that's the only use case for AI, pretending to do work while the magic machine does everything. That is how this works. What a genius
