A recent study found that AI has put a target on historians' backs. We put several chatbots to the test.

While a direct, digitized log entry for that screening remains elusive, the convergence of release timing, script inspiration, and theme, together with subsequent archival references, make this the best supported answer. For example, the bot claimed that “For many years, both popular myth and some reputable sources have asserted that Nixon watched the film Patton(1970) on February 12, 1971, either at Key Biscayne, his regular retreat, or at the White House.” If you ask Copilot which movie Ronald Reagan watched on June 15, 1985, the answer it will spit back in Quick Response mode is Rambo: First Blood Part II(1985), and that’s not correct.
