I write this piece as someone with expertise in applicable DH subareas—research programming, digital scholarly design, and the ethical review of digital tools and interfaces—but not as someone with particular experience related to ML, LLMs, or other “AI” knowledges. A field of new and rapidly evolving tools means true expertise in the capabilities and design of AI is rare; often we are either talking about secondhand experiences of these tools (e.g. “Microsoft Co-Pilot let me xyz”) or about AI as a shorthand for desired computing capabilities, unfounded on familiarity with current research papers or understanding of codebases. (A values-neutral claim: science fiction authors without technical skillsets have helped us imagine, and later create.) https://literaturegeek.com/2024-12-05-reframing-ai-with-dh
