You can't hit the breaks when you're going uphill.

After playing around with ChatGPT, I have decided to allow my history students to use AI. Working out ways to stop them from using it will only create more stress and work than it's worth. I have therefore included instructions in the syllabus about how they can and cannot use AI.

And so I set sail on uncharted waters towards the endless horizon, like generations of intrepid explorers before me.

@tkinias @eharlitzkern @histodons Some of our admins here have discouraged us from requiring students to create ChatGPT accounts, given privacy and security concerns (and concerns re: free training for the AI); they suggest that if we want students to critique an AI paper, we should provide it ourselves.

@eharlitzkern @tkinias @histodons True, the ship may well have sailed for most, but I think this concern arose from faculty who work in the ethics of computing, so it may not be this cynical in origin.

@ERBeckman @histodons The National Archives (Kew) apparently has a mummified rat in its collections, with its own call number. Other discoveries include a packet of heroin, c. 1928: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/unusual-discovery-at-the-national-archives
