ChatGPT and the History of the Romanians. A Preliminary Analysis

Summary/Abstract: The public release of the AI‑powered conversational bot ChatGPT, its subsequent success, its acquisition by Microsoft, and its integration into the company’s digital tools, coupled with the swift response of other key industry players (particularly Google, which soon launched its own version of integrated search engine artificial intelligence – Google Bard), have sparked numerous public debates and concerns within the academic realm. In the short term, the primary concern revolves around students using this advanced digital tool to automatically draft their papers, thereby potentially cheating the grading system. In the medium to long term, apprehensions center around the status of the historian’s profession and the condition of historians compelled to compete with artificial intelligence. This study, conducted through sequential interviews with ChatGPT, GPT-4, and Google Bard, discusses both issues, with a specific focus on the history of the Romanians and the Romanian university system.
