discussing the repercussions of the algo while using unalived was so cheeky. Loved it.

Loosen up just a smidge but I’m in nice to meet you I’m rootin’ for ya girl

History is being lied about since 2020, some people say longer,

I recently had to use ChatGPT for class. Thankfully, it was very inconsequential, I only had to ask it to create a hypothetical client for me, but it sure had a knack for giving this poor person way too many hobbies and responsibilities. Anyways, it was interesting, but I don't plan to touch it again. The pain AI has caused artists and creatives in particular convinced me to avoid it years ago.

Thank you. I'm currently looking into AI in the context of my philosophy degree course and, while history is not one of my core interests, I find your conclusions convincing and consistent with my own findings and those of a number of experts. My perception is that chatbots such as ChatGPT are useful addition to Google and Google Scholar as a sort of search engine, and maybe to get an opinion on a theory of the type "Do you think event/proposition 'X' might be related to event/proposition 'Y', and please give your reasons". But I'd never treat its answer to such as definitive, given its known fallibility.

14:50 why?

If you think AI is destroying history, just wait until you hear about state funded public schools.

At this point WHAT isn't AI ruining?

We have a saying in statistics: garbage in = garbage out. There is a place for AI in research (in most fields) when closely supervised and trained by humans to do things that are practically beyond the scope of human abilities (the burned scroll is a great example). But I'm extremely skeptical of anything that purports to be general purpose. Also: thank you so much for your content, you have prompted me to engage much more critically and actively when I visit a museum.

I sure hope it does. History is all fake as.

I'm a hopeful AI nerd, so my opinions on this are obviously biased. I find it incredibly insightful and helpful to see what people more interested in other things are saying about AI. This video did _not_ disappoint on that front, thanks! You have so many good points I find it difficult to write a concise comment. The apps you talk about in the video indeed seem like they just don't need to exist right now. There is no other purpose but to try to tap into the massive moneystream flowing all around AI right now. Hopeful as I am, I'd like to think that some of the hypothesised use cases and benefits could materialise some day, but it's not going happen tomorrow. Needs massive advancements on both data digitisation (reducing the woefully underfunded human labour) and data analysis in order to work, but I see that as a possibility. Feel free to disagree, it's just my gut feeling. I really loved your remark on how carbon copying recently deceased people can be worse than useless, and actually cause harm and grief beyond being just misinformative. While I think it's probably not a huge problem, it's a problem that doesn't come to mind if you're just effing around with these imagined characters. That said, I personally find LLMs extremely useful when starting to learn about a new subject. They have approximate knowledge about almost everything, and my attitude toward that information is like I've heard it from a friend who sounds like they know what they're talking about. Just like with casual chats between friends, you can learn something, but have to be wary about what you hear. Often it's correct, but you only really learn things by actually doing and reading yourself! Thanks again for the video, it was really interesting!

The most realistic part of these AI Historical Figures is when they try to whitewash their history, but I don't think it's by design. If I'd design one I'd put some side message next to the white-washing like: "Ronald Reagan did in fact mismanaged the AIDS crisis but denied doing so publicly until his death." But we're decades away from something that sophisticated and its unlikely that AI companies would have the ethical impulse to do so.

It is a shame AI is regarded as the end all be all, especially in recreational use and academics. While it is useful to an extent, it destroys the human experience and drive to create, preserve, and engage in the beloved artifacts humanity has left for centuries. Excellent video!

So glad you were recommended! Great video- great take. Subbed for more.

I really enjoyed this video. I wanted to offer a bit of a counter-perspective. Mostly, that I think your complaints are generally valid but probably limited to the here and now. 1. Helping historians: I can imagine AI robots that can carefully handle and scan historical books and artifacts, greatly increasing the pace at which these items are digitized. Once digitized, they can be available on the web. In other words, this will *reduce* how often historians need to go to the library or other host centers. In addition to scanning the material, AI will be able to analyze and categorize materials. That will be extremely helpful. Imagine asking an AI to scan an entire collection for all references to a concept (not just specific words), or to details in artifact design. That could increase the pace and ease of research tremendously. So while these articles haven't really spelled out how this might happen, or *when* this might happen, I think there's clearly a role for AI to help with actual research. 2. Poorly executed AI historical personalities: a. bad pics - agreed. but easily fixable b. AI trained on stolen data - I agree this is an issue, but it'll likely be resolved in the next few years, either by researchers finding ways to train AIs on smaller (legally owned) data sets or by working out a copyright solution (e.g. clearer laws; development of payment systems; etc). So while the copyright issues ARE issues, they are unlikely to be long-term issues c. The AIs are dumb - again, short-term issue. d. (Mis)Representing dead, actual people - I definitely see the issue you raised in terms of right to one's own life, image, reputation, etc, but I think these issues are solvable in much the same way they are addressed for non-AI purposes, such as books and museum exhibits. I think that once the AI personalities are smarter and more character consistent, that they're not necessarily that different from many books or exhibits about the same people - who may still have living family. So again, I see this as a valid issue, but not a serious obstacle. (That said, I do think there's an interesting question of "why portray these people in a first person way when we don't have first person documents of their thoughts etc". However, I personally don't find it terribly persuasive. That is, I think the educational gains from the format would outweigh those concerns. [And honestly, 'speaking' to historical people this way feels like a genuinely fun and engaging way to learn. Reminds me of Star Trek.] At least, that's my first impression of the issue.) anyways, once again, thank you for the great video, and thank you for letting me share my perspective

Being able to pump out decent quality copyright-free images can be very tempting. We shouldn't underestimate that. Right now, people are kinda paranoid about the correct legal usage of the elements they can use in their videos. If you need, say, a high-resolution picture of a Greek ruin it's much easier to just have some AI image generator make one than digging around for what you need and much cheaper than paying stock media brokers like Adobe. Thank god for Pixabay and Wikimedia Commons.

why is this hogwarts stuff recommended to me?

Destruction is required as to not stagnate/-- revert

AI is destroying history? Oh please, I don't think you have to trouble yourself with that as every major conflict and disaster have at best distorted and at worst wiped it clean anyway. Studying it is a fool's errand unless you happen to work for an intelligence agency or really, really wish to apply to become the next pope or something. Researching your surroundings and environment will tell you more than any publicly available "historical" book ever will, but that takes actual effort. :)

Damn professor, I need to sign up for your class😍

Artificial Insanity.

I like this video. /g

That one dislike from was from angry ChatGPT

As long as the text is legible a cell phone camara is all you need to digitize it.

Unfortunately we've been taught to see 3 body problem in space where here on earth it is a 3 line solution. 1st hand In person testimony & credibility has to go back up to pre 1900s structuralism. Must/ shall re install 3 souce conformations before publishing real works/news etc etc etc Ultil around 1990s international press membership networks, society, community publishing all worked like this together to get very quick access to find 3 sources to Triangulate credibility of any and all things. All who build individual trust ,a name ,title becomes associated with those labels . I'm sure encrypted watermark fact checkers who themselves are judged in association with it's encoded label forms. Use the mosaic/ jesus 3 lines of measure ✝️ xyzt longitude latitude = truest flattest surface most balanced eqaulibrium optimization!

12:57 I think most people would lie about that. Including Osama bin Laden.

AI needs to stay in its own fkn lane or it can kiss my a** 🖕. Also we can take our power back by keeping cash alive worldwide. Shopping with CASH locally and banking with customer owned instead of shareholder banks will help us NOT FEED THE GREED. Question everything. The powers that be lie lie lie so question everything and DO NOT COMPLY. UNITED WE BARGIN ✊✊✊. DIVIDED WE BEG 👊😑

Just a little algorithm comment

It's not TERRIBLE for the environment, it's just that early infrastructures are not optimized but it's already happening. Ironically, AI is already optimizing green energy solutions and improving efficiencies across various sectors such as: - Renewable energy optimization - Advanced material science and discovery - Traffic management and route optimization - Precision agriculture and farming - Real-time energy monitoring and management - Efficient logistics and supply chain management - Accurate energy demand forecasting - Smart grid infrastructure and maintenance - Predictive maintenance for industrial equipment - Waste management and recycling optimization - Water resource management - Climate modeling and environmental monitoring - Smart building management systems for energy efficiency - Enhanced weather forecasting for renewable energy planning - Wildlife conservation and biodiversity monitoring Also, if we base things on utility, wouldn't it make more sense to first justify the energy consumption of industries like gaming, streaming, and cryptocurrency? ai.gov/ai-use-cases/ The US Department of Energy had the most use of AI from the latest report.

There is no such thing as AI.

Fun video!

The water issue. The freon and anvil to anvil issue, the separation of taugths and systems. Good to be dead...

On the bin laden thing, is it possible that the AI tries to mimic what he himself would say, and not what the actual truth was? I don't suppose the real bin laden would admit to having p**n on his computer, if you asked him. But I don't know how that AI is supposed to handle these questions.

I saw a guy using AI to 'enhance' some photographs of the amercian civil war period- which in reality involved the AI inventing detail to increase the apparent fidelity of the images. It seemed to entirely escape him that the end result was not a clearer view of an actual historical scene but a fictionlised image that was based on the original photograph but now contained entirely made up stuff. So what happens when these psudeo historical images begin to circulate online? At some point even knowing if the image you are seeing is actual history or an AI generated fake will become problematic. I think the problem arises from the fact that we been have trained to see computers as a source of accurate and precise information- but generative AI does not work this way because it defines a 'correct' response as one that is plausible and apposite- but has zero concern as to the accuracy or truth of that response. Thus if asked a question to which it does not have a ready answer from it's training data it will simply manufacture an answer that seems to make sense but in reality may have no factual basis.

In a craft group, a person didn't understand that chatgpt probably didn't give her an accurate candle making recipe. face palm.

I've been saying AI is not ready for prime time. My main interface with AI is on BING search engine--it can do rather well answering questions. I was reading Robert Penn Warren's All The Kings Men. There was vocabulary I was unfamiliar with. It was able to give me the information I needed when I put in the book and page number. I felt this was most likely accurate. However, most other uses of AI are hilarious( like Bernadette Banner asking AI to create figures wearing historical garb, when they were very distorted with extra fingers) for dangerous (Self driving vhicles

I, too, prefer Queen Elizabeth to be less vampire-y! I feel about AI like I do artificial sweeteners: it's ARTIFICIAL. I get a visceral response when I look at AI-generated "nature" images or animals. Rick Beato did a video about AI--generated music. Nick Cave responded to a question about an AI-generated "Nick Cave" song that was very thoughtful. AI has infiltrated so many aspects of creativity. I'm concerned that younger generations growing up with this won't be able to discern what's real and what's not--especially when it comes to history and facts.

People aren't very discerning when it comes to any form of medium. Some years ago, one of my students (in college) thought the movie "The Martian", the one based on the work of *fiction* by Andy Weir, was a real historic event. AI has a lot of amazing uses, like projects where artifacts are too fragile for conventional research methods... so cool. Or projects where there's just so much data that they're searching for anomalies in the graphs of millions of separate objects... so cool. Its abuses are pretty bad, though. That being said, if someone did train a historical figure chatbot on all the known writings and reputable research on the figure, it might be a cool experience to "chat" with it. As it is, they're trained on extremely limited & not always reliable resources... No. Edit: slight typo fix

It's important to know that mkt made with ai isn't well received by the public (statistically), and at least for now can't be subject to copyright. This big push by tech companies is like the gold rush. The only ones that are winning something are the ones selling shovels, in this case the manufacturers of hardware. not the software. Sorry for the bad english it's not my first language

like an experience I had that was tangential to my hatred of the use of "AI" in the field of history was when I got an advert for CHRISTIANITY with an AI generated image of the Sermon on the Mount, YOU HAD THE ENTERITY OF ART HISTORY, from Mosaics, Fresco, Renaissance, Rococo, Baroque, Muralism, Modern- bloody CHILDREN'S BOOK ILLUSTRATORS yet you had to generated a weird AI image where Jesus hand is detatched from his wrist, and the people in the background are blury messes, with heads and limbs fused together, and entierly devoid of any religious or spiritual iconography, instead you now just have a pulpy Jesus making a hand gesture to indicate that he is speaking, but not on what, or who he is- and I am a pagan infidel 😭 ultimately thou all of the above are not flawless or without their historical criticisms, like one thing I often see is AI art of Charlemagne based off the 15th century portrait, which like any historian would be able to tell you that is an early-modern depiction of an early-medieval ruler, who in fact almost certainly looked nothing like that. But one is venerated and holds much more nationalistic power and legitimizing iconography. which ultimately also I see in a lot of weird crypto-fascist AI nerd circles, like AI gives them the power to create hyper masculine, white, normative visual interpretations of the past.

I block every channel suggested by youtube showing cheap AI thumbnails

I've had Gemini and ChatGPT outright deny specific historical events I was asking about. No clue why. I'm not a historian, but I feel like if I were, I would not trust AI with anything I was trying to do.

I really enjoyed your commentary on this, thank you for the great content!

Great video!😺

😮😮😮 interesting!
