@verge @siracusa The biggest problem I have with this article is the headline. It claims you shouldn't use generative AI as a "search engine," but then proceeds to describe a historical research process that shouldn't be relegated to a search engine either! Depending on what you're searching, generative AI might work great, and often does. But historical, factual research is not one of them.
A better headline might be:
“Stop using generative AI as historical research”
