It was pretty neat seeing this because a recent paper found that AI models are bad historians: https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/19/ai-isnt-very-good-at-history-new-paper-finds/ https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/19/ai-isnt-very-good-at-histo... But the gist of its argument just seems to be that they don't know fine details of history, and make the same generalized assumptions that humans would make with only a cursory knowledge of a particular topic. This seems unavoidable for a model that compresses a broad swath of human knowledge down to a couple hundred gigabytes. Using AI as a research tool instead of a fact database is of course a whole different thing.
