Generative AI has forced me to think a lot more concretely about all the discrete components of doing historical work - and where the value of those different pieces lie

I think we need to stop asking whether Al is "good" or "bad" for historians, or trying to discuss how to police our students who we think are "cheating", and start asking more specific questions. For which of our many tasks has Al already crossed the threshold of
"good enough"? Which parts of our labour process are being cheapened, which are being reorganised? And what happens to the formation of future historians if the junior work through which expertise is built gets outsourced to machines?

I think this post nails the actual problem, for researchers at least—AI hallucinations would simply not be a problem in academic work if we’d not normalized citation-as-signaling rather than actual engagement—you can only cite a fake paper if you’re not in the habit of reading the papers you cite

Finally read this piece, and it seem like the problem would be solved if people made sure to read — or at least track down a real citation, abstract, and full-text file or link for — the articles they cite? Pretty fundamental stuff! www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...
