An AI prompted to say it's an archivist might not have the same legal weight as one saying it's a doctor or can identify toxic mushrooms, but the organization suffers by bringing in tech which doesn't help the employees - especially when a big part of their job is finding reliable, cite-able sources of information.

I'm reading a book by a papyrus expert (Stolen Fragments) and I was surprised by how they frame it as safeguarding history first, and the community accepting or rejecting lines of work based on that. If you're an archivist you are aware that AI is part of the future, but also you're planning to still be an archivist at the institution and want to shape what that looks like.
