Comment on Digital mutual aid among migrants, in the shadow of ChatGPT by Jenia Yudytska

In reply to Yixi(Isabella) Qiu. Thank you very much Yixi! I taught a course on language technologies (chatbots, machine translation, etc.) last semester and I'm still ruminating on the students' input on their own AI use. My main conclusion right now is that simply improving digital literacy on the topic is really important. For example, the fact that ChatGPT *generates* and doesn't actually "search" for info was quite surprising for most students; their honest surprise in turn made me understand why they trust AI answers in a way I don't.

Thank you so much Ana! Source checking really is one of those absolutely crucial but extremely difficult everyday issues, in all alreas of life.. A few years ago Germany used to have a project called “Migration Counselling 4.0” where EU workers were offered counselling re labour rights within already existing online communities (https://minor-kontor.de/migration-counselling-4-0/). I think it was a really interesting idea and I wish the EU would really build on it – I would *love* to have a legal professional drop by our Telegram groups once every few months.

Thank you for this powerful and painfully honest piece, Jenia. As you point out, “the issues explored here are no different from those we’re facing in other areas: education, academia, news, etc. … AI ‘errors’ are not abstract risks but existential ones, while for volunteers they become yet another invisible layer of emotional and cognitive labour.” When teaching an academic writing course, I sense a related tension, in which fleeting ideas and learning opportunities embedded in the revision process of language choices can easily be overshadowed by the authority of AI outputs. A timely and important contribution!

Thank you, Jenia; a wonderful piece to read and a powerful reminder to look beyond the fluff of AI-generated texts, and why source checking and talking to humans (when possible) are so important for getting more accurate information. Thank you for the work you do for refugees; it’s so needed.

Comment on Alexander von Humboldt visits Australia by Norm Painting

A fascinating and thoughtfully written piece, Gabrielle. I really enjoyed how the article brings Alexander von Humboldt’s ideas to life while connecting them meaningfully to Australia’s scientific and environmental history. The discussion of his influence on figures like Ferdinand Mueller and Georg Neumayer clearly shows how Humboldt’s integrative view of science shaped early research in Australia. One additional reflection is how his emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration feels even more relevant today in addressing climate change and sustainability challenges.

Comment on Language learning through public speaking by Presentations

Great read! public speaking framed as a language learning tool was new to me. I like the part about how working together in a speaking club made a safe space for trying out Mandarin or English.

Heartfelt congratulations on winning the 2025 Talkley Award! I was thrilled and honored to see our photo featured in the article. The website makes me feel that the knowledge I have learned feels shared and alive, rather than something that stays quietly on the page. I look forward to many more unique and insightful episodes.
