Generative AI

• Mezzie 3y ago
  Specifically the combination of generative AI and the lack of current understanding of it by the history-making professions (archivists and historians). Historians and archivists rely a lot on primary sources and right now digital provenance is already a dumpster fire - I don't even want to think of what generative AI is going to do. A lot of the methods traditionally used for identifying an authentic primary source aren't going to work with generative AI.

  It isn't particularly new, given that most of our media are either doctored, touched up, or manipulated in some ways. Most of us don't have VFX knowledge or the ability to detect minute flaws in Deepfake works. We do it through by filtering and selecting sources of information.
