Abstract

Many humanists are skeptical of language models and concerned about their effects on universities. However, researchers with a background in the humanities are also actively engaging AI—seeking not only to adopt language models as tools, but to steer them toward a more flexible, contextual representation of written culture. This is a postprint. The text is the author's originally submitted version. Publication information refers to the published version, which differs in a few small details.
