YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDavid Rubenstein: "When you're teaching and you assign people to write or students to write a paper, how do you know it's not written by artificial intelligence?"
Beverly Gage: "Right. Well, I have redesigned my classes to some degree around this question, but for the research papers, the first thing that I do, not only because it gets out of the AI trap, but because I think it's the most exciting way to do history, is that, I send students to the physical archives that we have, in this case at Yale, but in places like the Library of Congress, because actually, most of what historians do is not digitized at all anywhere.
