I had so much fun working on this project (and thinking with the team about our relationship with AI).
Should you use AI for that?
Our new post is about how and when to use AI in arts and culture work (and why the answer is almost always no).
It comes complete with an AI decision tree for cultural workers to help you make hard choices!

Wait until you hear that LLMs can only train on digitized/datafied info.
Most of the FACTS scholars use are in archives/libraries.
Less than 1% of archival colletions worldwide have been digitized.
Also: lots of facts are not even in archives, but in the attics.

suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research:
they’ve tried it, they keep noticing major errors in output, and they conclude that having to verify all that doesn’t actually save them time.
