Hiratsuka Raichō, born on this day in 1886, was an anarchist writer, journalist, political activist, and pioneering Japanese feminist. Her efforts helped legalize Japanese women joining political organizations in 1922.

Upon graduating from university, Hiratsuka founded Japan's first all-women literary magazine, Seitō (青鞜, literally "Bluestocking"), in 1911.

Hiratsuka began the first issue with the words, "In the beginning, woman was the sun", a reference to the Shinto goddess Amaterasu, and to the spiritual independence which women had lost. Adopting the pen name "Raichō" ("Thunderbird"), she began to call for a women's spiritual revolution.

Hiratsuka also founded the New Women's Association with fellow women's rights activist Ichikawa Fusae. It was largely through this group's efforts that the Article 5 of the Police Security Regulations, which barred women from joining political organizations and holding or attending political meetings, was overturned in 1922.

My professor is forcing me to use AI for some of my assignments that have nothing to do with AI. He thinks that AI use will be essential for writing papers in the future hence I need to learn how to use it.

Most of my classmates use it for all their assignments and when I read their stuff it’s so noticeably AI written based on the generic sentence structure and unnecessary filler words. It feels like it just makes everything worse but my professor & classmates make me feel like I’m just not adjusting well to the new technology.

professors who force AI are always the weirdest to me

Idk how much this is an influence on professors, but whenever I see a coworker doing something that is obviously dumb but somehow shiny it’s because they put it in their annual goals 11 months ago or are updating their resume. Maybe they said they were going to “modernize the curriculum by integrating new AI techniques” and are like oh shit oh fuck did I put that down?

Don't. The technology just isn't there. And I'm not even sure the incentive to improve it is quite there either.

if your professor wants to "read" garbage, their choice shrug-outta-hecks

I just feel gross anytime I use it and I don’t want it to become a habit if I have to do it too often.

I would ask students to catch token generators in a lie, but you don’t control seeds of big models, so can’t verify they haven’t asked it to produce untrue sequence of words:(

and especially if you suspect they grade using ai garbage instead of underpaid ta, at that point you just waste effort.
