You wanna write about history?

Write it. Don't make AI generate it.

Because when you have it crap out some generic garbage, you will inevitably generate something offensive about more controversial, nuanced figures.

Take the start of this book for example. Pocahontas. Some would like to whitewash and downplay what she went through, and the atrocities surrounding her people. Wanna not give a shit about the details? Ask AI to generate an inspiring interpretation.

"When Pocahontas was about eleven years old, English settlers arrived and built Jamestown. At first, her people and the newcomers didn't understand one another. They ... didn't always trust each other. ... Pocahontas's curiosity, kindness, and courage helped build a bridge between them."

Wow! Yeah sure, the English settlers threatening the Powhatan people, sexually assaulting the women, stealing food at gunpoint, all that settled with a little bit of cute kidnapping.

Never mind that it perpetuates contested recounts about whether or not it made sense for her to, as a child, help the very settlers who were destroying the lives of her people, and certainly her father and the Mattaponi tribe wouldn't be extremely protective of her or the other children given the present danger constantly threatening them. She'd totally have a chance to sneak over and help the broskis just having a little fun terrorizing her people.

Let's get into when she was kidnapped. The AI acknowledges this:

"Years later, Pocahontas was taken captive by the English during growing conflicts."

Okay great, we're rightfully saying-

"Instead of turning bitter, she learned their language, studied their customs, and found ways to communicate peace."

Wait what.

"When she traveled to England, she amazed everyone with her grace and intelligence.

What the fu-

People there saw her as proof that two worlds could learn from each other.

Learn what? That you can totes tame the "savages" and just drag em across the pond to do any which way you want all in the name of profits?? Are you for real-

"Yet her story lived on as a symbol of understanding and courage."

Oh fuck off-

"She showed that kindness can cross boundaries and that peace often begins with one person willing to listen. Even centuries later, her life reminds us that friendship and respect are stronger than fear or difference."

Fuck right off.

This piece of crap made a big splash in the toilet in late 2025. Shouldn't we be getting past this sort of whitewashing bullshit? Well I guess not, if you don't give a damn and use AI to hopefully produce "accurate" information to be "inspiring". A testament to resilience, if you will. Why be upset when you're kidnapped? Take it in stride, glass is half-full, positive thoughts!

The other horror is twenty-eight other women are dragged into this. God knows what the AI did to Sacagawea.
