If you have a question for instructor Neil, and he hasn’t been able to reply via email yet, perhaps Agent Neil can help.
Agent Neil can be accessed by students in the Digital Humanities Theories and Debates class for a maximum of 180 seconds per month until June 27, 2025. Agent Neil has access to the Course Outline and the Reading List so may be able to clarify something about the readings and assessments. But, as he is a large language model, he may make mistakes if asked more complex questions that may not be in his knowledge base.
On another note, he has been programmed with 13 languages: Mandarin, Indonesian, Dutch, Russian, German, Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), French, Italian, Korean, Japanese, Spanish and Arabic. To activate this, when he introduces himself say “I’d like to speak in …..” and he will switch to that language.
