A note to all members about the use of on AI and the forum
We’re not against AI. Many of us use it, and we’re happy for you to use it for things like spelling, grammar and tidying your own notes. What matters here is being open about where things come from, so everyone can question them.
Images
Please don’t post AI-made pictures of historical scenes. They show things that never existed, and they can be mistaken for real records later on. If you share a restored photo, please say that AI was used, and post the original alongside it. Restoration is always welcome when a member asks for it.
Written history
History is a conversation, and we’d like to hear your voice in it. If AI helped you, please say so, and check what it told you. It can sound very sure and still be wrong. Please don’t post AI text as if it were your own research.
Sources
Please credit where your information came from, even if you disagree with it. Post the first paragraph and a link, not the whole article. And tell us what you think. Questions and doubts are welcome too. “We don’t know” is a good answer.
