I’m playing around just with NotebookLM (the AI the article advertises) to plow through a selected bunch of verified primary sources. It seems useful to do the “distant reading” kind of work I tried to do on that corpus already, as it lowers significantly the coding bar. I also use Claude.ai for some editing, not being a native speaker. But, it’s true, I haven’t seen any of it able to actually sub me or take over the historian’s work. Up to now it is always me steering it, no great brilliant ideas have come out of AI alone. Maybe occasionally it prompted me to think deeper, however. https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:3oezhi4yroqopcpgvjmrzmjx/post/3lrrxvz7hf223 #histodons #digitalhistory
