Based on intensive reading this summer (I'm not an expert in this field), I would say that #AIed is 90% made of bulshit. And it's even worse, I must say, when those articles are dealing with AI and history teaching. This thread is, on the contrary, not bulshit at all. Read it!

Lecture achevée, le livre de @ccarolinemuller.bsky.social et Frédéric Clavert est d’une très grande richesse et finesse sur l’histoire telle qu’elle se pratique aujourd’hui, au-delà même des seuls enjeux numériques. Indispensable à qui en fait son métier, je dirais même obligatoire à partir du M1 !

les chapitres 1 et 2 discutent de tout ceci, et montrent en particulier la grande variété des rapports à "l'archive" aujourd'hui, depuis ceux et celles qui maintiennent un long temps de travail en salle, et ceux et celles qui n'en ont pas besoin. A suivre 😊

This article from Le Monde (www.lemonde.fr/series-d-ete...) is at the same level than Niall Ferguson's a few weeks ago (niallferguson.substack.com/p/ais-great-...). AI does not matter here. What matters is the authors conservative and elitist views on universities. AI is just a pretext.
