babe, please put the phone down. I swear these hallucinations are controlled
HAPPY NATIONAL BARACK OBAMA APPRECIATION DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE!
The 2 WORST use-cases for LLMs for this work at the moment is anything requiring comprehensiveness (unless you already have the full dataset) or perceptual judgment, like qual coding--the 2 things they used it for. (& that's coming from a Claude Code user who finds copyediting with Opus v. helpful)
None of these authors is an archivist or a historian.
But sure, LLMs can do history…
What the actual?! NO!
“Strategy” lol. Write better headlines.
I love how they call it “knowledge production.” Define *knowledge.*
Archivists call these “box bites.”

Rebranding a hallucination as a ‘critical confabulation’ that can fill archival gaps is a big no from me.
