Listen the fact that all you anti-AI academics are incompetent morons is not my fault. If you can't use AI because you're too dumb, that's your problem. You don't Google something then automatically cite the first result. If you're citing hallucinations that's 100 percent because you're an idiot.

These folks are resurrecting 18th century racism.

See Benjamin Franklin from 1751.

Which leads me to add one Remark: That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth. I could wish their Numbers were increased. And while we are, as I may call it, Scouring our Planet, by clearing America of Woods, and so making this Side of our Globe reflect a brighter Light to the Eyes of Inhabitants in Mars or Venus, why should we in the Sight of Superior Beings, darken its People? why increase the Sons of Africa, by Planting them in America, where we have so fair an Opportunity, by excluding all Blacks and Tawneys, of increasing the lovely White and Red? But perhaps I am partial to the Complexion of my Country, for such Kind of Partiality is natural to Mankind.

This project is using very big data to show what @jamellebouie.net keeps saying: the yglesias types aren't standing in reporting about some silent majority backlashing against CRT, DEI, and progressive racial ideology. They ARE the backlash.

Historians: Famously don't like to do a lot of reading.

Ah-may-zing.

I'm particularly fond of the idea that you must read every source or outsource all of it to AI. Yes, those are absolutely the only two options.
