No, I am afraid not, Julian. However, I do have this essay available open access, if that is any use: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... Otherwise, thank you so much for going to see the exhibition and for giving it such an extensive and positive write up.

Lots of commentary on this piece already, all of which I agree with.

For historians, research is a fundamental part of writing.

To farm it out to AI changes the nature of this intellectual process in fundamental ways.

And as Stacy Schiff points out, it also takes all the fun out of it.

Last Christmas, I organised a “fun” themed panel called “Histories of the Present”. And like the aspiring cool person I am, I asked AI to generate a picture of Foucault at Christmas with presents. He looks like a man who has made the best possible life out of being placed in witness protection.
