many angles on this current news items -- one that is worth mentioning first, echoes what others have said here.. these professional archivists are the "most expert" at a certain task at a National scale! yet the words "expert archivist" plus black-box corporate run, remote software is on full display, very likely heading towards "doing the job" of these most trained people. And to add insult to injury, in a certain task the success rate of 90% is declared "good enough" when these are people with years of training to never, at all, perform at that low of a level. Draw your own conclusions about the professionalism and goals of management, emboldened and empowered by "scale" ..

Even world-class, PhD laden and disciplined groups are not keeping up with ingestion and use of the amounts of data emerging. The cure adds to the ailment here, though.. AI itself in current incarnations produces mountains of gibberish or worse, half-truths and half- very plausible and confident nonsense.. This is an important story.
