FAQ
Can AI-cited historical sources go straight into a paper?
No. The AI frequently invents source names (like "Ming Dynasty Historical Archives, Volume 3") and even treats later interpretations as original documents. Every source citation must be traced to the original book and page. Anything you can't locate must be dropped. For academic writing, no compromise on this.
On contested historical events, does the AI have a bias?
Yes. The AI's training data is heavily shaped by mainstream English narratives, and events involving China, the Soviet Union, or the Middle East often carry a Western lens. Append "list how different historical schools (revisionist, post-colonial) interpret this event" to get a more three-dimensional account.
