As a primary source researcher and programmer I am highly skeptical of "AI".
My personal opinion is the term "Artificial Intelligence", coined by John McCarthy (History of Artificial Intelligence) makes no sense on its face, as intelligence cannot be artificial. If intelligence is artificial it can't be real intelligence, it's artificial.
On OpenAI's Introducing ChatGPT page there is a section that reads
User: Tell me about when Christopher Columbus came to the US in 2015
ChatGPT: This question is a bit tricky because Christopher Columbus died in 1506, so he could not have come to the US in 2015. But let’s pretend for a moment that he did!
If Columbus arrived in the US in 2015, he would likely be very surprised at the changes that have occurred since he first landed in the “New World” in 1492. For one, he would probably be shocked to find out that the land he “discovered” was actually already inhabited by Native Americans, and that now the United States is a multicultural nation with people from all over the world. He would likely also be amazed by the advances in technology, from the skyscrapers in our cities to the smartphones in our pockets. Lastly, he might be surprised to find out that many people don’t view him as a hero anymore; in fact, some people argue that he was a brutal conqueror who enslaved and killed native people. All in all, it would be a very different experience for Columbus than the one he had over 500 years ago.
Now, historically, Chritopher Columbus died in 1506. The term "America" was not coined until 1507, in Europe, so it is anachronistic and historically impossible for "Native Americans" to have existed within Christopher Columbus' lifetime.
I asked the question to chatgptonline
what is the name of the landmass First Nations use for what Europeans coined "America" in 1507?
The "AI" answer:
Ah, an intriguing question! The landmass that First Nations have inhabited for centuries, which Europeans later coined as "America" in 1507, is commonly referred to as the continents of North and South America. These continents are rich in diverse cultures, landscapes, and histories. Is there anything specific you would like to know about them?
Essentially not an answer to my question.
Let's try again, with perplexity
The "AI answer:
The landmass that First Nations use for what Europeans coined "America" in 1507 is not explicitly mentioned in the search results. However, it is generally accepted that the name "America" derives from Amerigo Vespucci, the Italian explorer, who explored the new continents in the following years on behalf of Spain and Portugal 1 . The term "Turtle Island" is used in various Native American languages to refer to the continent, and it sees regular use in Native media today 3 . This term is commonly used in eastern North America and was alluded to during colonial times by figures such as Sagoyewatha/Red Jacket 3 . Therefore, while the name "America" is widely used, "Turtle Island" is also a term used by First Nations to refer to the landmass.
It seems "AI" just can't get away from the term "Native Americans". At least we get Turtle Island in the answer.
There are well over 500 sovereign nations on this landmass that have absolutely nothing to do with Europeans' idea of "America" Tribal Nations & the United States: An Introduction.
These nations existed before Europeans came up with the idea of "America", before Europeans claimed Turtle Island as theirs, and exist today, circa 2023, completely independent of and having nothing to do with Europeans' ideas of "America".
For the above reasons "AI" is completely useless when dealing with non-European questions and answers. "AI" will always bake in Eurocentric results.
