When officials lie time and again, people don’t know what to trust. And when this happens, citizens cannot deliberate, approve or dissent coherently, because a shared world no longer exists.

Right, another key thing that historians do is working with important records that have not been digitized.

And the vast majority of the world’s records *have not been digitized* and thus do not exist in any format that LLMs/AI can work with.
it's literally impossible for an LLM to do a historian's job

it's not even LLMs sucking it's that they need data input to do anything and where's that data supposed to be coming from without historians

never met a computer that can dig through a thousand year old book in a library

the problem with AI “journalism” is that, as I discussed in this piece, LLMs eventually come up against the constraint that they know only what is legible to the digital. vast swaths of global happenings aren’t digitally legible and will remain so. only human reporters can describe those events.

The Internet and AI are encouraging more and more people to deny reality itself. Here's why that's bad.
