“…and longed after experience with algorithms, algorithmic management, machine learning algorithms, and quite some focus on artifical intelligence (AI) everywhere. So, the jester role I had taken on earlier (see Kautz and Jensen, 2013;Kautz, 2018) resurfaced as I could not withstand the temptation of testing the application and consequences of generative AI and of asking the OpenAi chatbot ChatGPT, GPT standing for Generative Pre-trained Transformer (https://openai.com/blog/Chatgpt/) to 'Write me an Australian Journal of Information Systems Editorial'. The result is below and I leave it to the learned reader to judge the outcome and compare it with my current efforts.…”

The final articles for the year 2022 of the Australasian Journal of Information Systems have been published; a the complete volume 26 of the journal is now avaialble.In last year's editorial I formulated my understanding of the information systems (IS) discipline and research based on Lee's editorial comments on IS research in Management Information Systems Quaterly (MISQ) (Lee, 2001) as a foundation of my vision and of the (future) scope of the AJIS. I also expressed a desire to receive more submissions based on Alvesson and Sandberg's (2011 problematization research approach: "research that is assumption-challenging and deals with surprising phenomena instead of being confirmatory and founded on mere gap-spotting." (Kautz, 2021) It is therefore affirming to read Chattjee and Davison's (2021) editorial plea for compelling problematization in IS research in the Information Systems Journal (ISJ) as well as the MISQ editor's comments on qualitative research methods in IS including a call for phenomenonfocused problematization (Monteiro et al., 2022) which is based on the MISQ Knowledge Sharing online sessions 2022 on Qualitative Research, in one of which I had the opportunity to participate.Further based on the journal's published articles I also sketched out some reasons for desk rejections. In this context Professor Yogesh Dwiwedi, the current Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Information Management (IJIM) and colleagues in a recent editorial of the IJIM (Dwivedi et al., 2022), likened submitting to a journal to participating in a conversation and that, beyond lack of fit with a journal's scope, not participating in a journal's ongoing conversation and not being connected with the existing research conversations in a journal through a demonstrated lack of familiarity with existing work published in the target journal increases the risk of a desk reject. I highly recommend these three editorial to all IS researchers, who seek support for their development of quality research articles.After some years of online gatherings in 2022 it became possible again to meet in person for workshops, seminars, and conferences and in the second half of the year I attended four such events: Digital Futures, an event by the Disrupt.Sydney conference series at the University of Sydney, Australia (disruptsydney.net) (I really recommend this series to you if you are interested in challenging common sense, in learning about new ways of thinking, and in critically engaging with our disicipline); the Australian Cybernetic 2022 event at the Australian National University (ANU) (cybernetics.anu.edu.au) in Canberra (more about it later); the Australasian Conference on Information Systems
