Longevity and Longevity: The Limitations of AI for Research. Top Story - April 2023.
Users are beginning their research journey more and more through AI models such as Google Bard and ChatGPT. While they can be helpful tools to get a taste for available resources, they lack the taxonomy needed to ensure accurate searching built into existing tools such as Wikipedia. Asking for cursory information about Longevity magazine, one of the popular titles from Bob Guccione and Kathy Keeton's General Media, returned two erroneous results - one more defective than the other. Consider this your reminder to always check a few different resources and be wary when sources are not identified.

Pornography and Free Speech: The 1970s Debate and Its Impact Today. Top Story - April 2023.
This is a further exploration of how ChatGPT recaps and analyzes complex historic threads. Putting the tool to the test through the thorny history of debates surrounding pornography in the 1970s displays the successes and drawbacks of the tool. While it provides a helpful primer, AI makes overt missteps a human might not, such as identifying Andrea Dworkin as "pro-pornography" when she was in fact a creator of the Antipornography Civil Rights Ordinance. The lack of nuance and reference to primary sources means I do not predict a history teacher will mistake this for student work anytime soon.

The Importance of Popular Culture Archives - According to AI. Top Story - April 2023.
For those who have experienced archives, whether during a history course in school or in trying to track down a "lost" episode of their favorite tv show, the word renders thoughts of magic and wonder...or just yellowing pages. Archivists continuously work to bring awareness to the materials they steward, connecting collections with users who make preservation worthwile. It is a difficult task that requires constant ingenuity.

"Album All Timers" in 1972 and Today. Top Story - April 2023.
Digitzed rare magazine issues in the OG Collection contain a wealth of information on popular culture trends from the month and year of each issue. One such list, of the first 41 "Penthouse Album All-Timers" provides the perfect source content to see how AI tools such as ChatGPT analyzes materials and extends the reasoning. This test further highlights the difference between AI and human feedback, as ChatGPT successfully identifies common elements but cannot recommend based on the feel of music, and presents its findings in a format similar to a high school topic-sentence heavy essay.

Omnibust - AI Predictions for the Future. Top Story - March 2023.
Can AI tools like ChatGPT predict the future? Using the tool to not update but project a version of a very funny Omni feature on "The Worst Scientific Achievements of 1982" puts this query to the test. The results are far less humurous than the 1983 version, however it is unclear whether the perceived more serious context of 2032 or the lack of Omni's tongue-in-cheek editorial staff is to blame.

Penthouse and the Vietnam War: How does AI handle complex historic events?. Top Story - March 2023.
How well does ChatGPT discuss complicated historic events? Asking the tool to discuss how U.S. mass media reported on the Vietnam War is no small feat, as the topic requires deep primary source analysis, understanding of political and cultural context, and knowledge of contemporary literature on the subject. Many users have pointed out the flaws of ChatGPT in pulling from real sources, so how could the tool aid an interested user rather than a historian?

UFOs and OCR: How can AI refine and digest vintage content?. Top Story - March 2023.
How can ChatGPT clean up and riff off of a PDF with Optical Character Recognition (OCR)? OCR makes textual content within scans of archival documents accessible, but with the discoloration and complicated fonts often found with these materials OCR is not always accurate. How can ChatGPT streamline the process of accesing retro articles?

Contextualizing "Sexual Honesty" by Shere Hite. Top Story - March 2023.
How can ChatGPT contextualize historic publications? It can be helpful to begin to understand the historical placement of a text, going beyond a summary, however the lack of sources present a drawback. Would you use an AI tool to do background research?

Using AI to Explore the Archives. Top Story - March 2023.
Archivist's Note Welcome to OG AI! This profile will bring two seemingly seperate worlds together: archival primary sources and new AI technology. Archives track human history through materials that are unpublished, and therefore largely unavailable to datasets used to train AI tools.
