Hostory is already dead before ChatGPT.
With the invention of smartphone and globally available internet, the volume of records' accumulation is in exponential growing rate.
For example if 911 happan in 2023, the total amount of videos and photos will exceeds 100TB, with different angles and perspectives. So all we know historians are not going to check all 100TB of records to find the truth. So what exactly are they trying to achieve?
They are going to read newspapers as what people did in the old days. But we know newspaper do not tell truth. Live streams do. Vlogs do. People burning inside the building leaving their last note on tiktok, that captures exactly what is happening, and historians will just ignore those.
