First time we saw our #younghistorians begin to use LLMs/AI. Some were intrigued with the notion that when all can generate right answers, the future may belong to those who can ask right questions, separate fact from fiction, and tell a convincing story. In other words, the skills of a historian.

Congrats to @paulhuddie.bsky.social too!
