This is an author preprint. Please refer to the final published version: Dinneen, J. D., Bubinger, H. (2021). Not Quite ?Ask a Librarian?: AI on the nature, value, and future of LIS. In ASIS&T ?21: Proceedings of the 84th Annual Meeting of the Association for Information Science & Technology, 58. ASIS&T Annual Meeting 2021 1 Papers Not Quite ?Ask a Librarian? : AI on the Nature, Value, and Future of LIS Jesse David Dinneen Humboldt-Universit?t zu Berlin, Germany [email address redacted] Bubinger Humboldt-Universi?t zu Berlin, Germany [email address redacted] ABSTRACT AI language models trained on Web data generate prose that reflects human knowledge and public sentiments, but can also contain novel insights and predictions. We asked the world?s best language model, GPT-3, fifteen difficult questions about the nature, value, and future of library and information science (LIS), topics that receive perennial attention from LIS scholars. We present highlights from its ...

📊 Game Impacts

Not verified in game

Which variables this event was proposed to move, and in which direction. The magnitudes are held in the corpus but are not shown here, because they have not been verified against the shipped game. They come from pdoom-data. They describe what an event was proposed to do, not what the shipped game does with it. Most events in the corpus are flavour: they are shown for colour and do not move any game variable. Only a small minority reach the systems below, and several of the variables listed here are not read by the game at all yet. Treat this table as a design proposal under review, not as a measurement of play. Corrections and arguments are welcome — the suggestion links at the foot of this page go straight to the data repo.
