This seems to imply a model of use of AI in the humanities (by humanists, not by interested amateurs) that I haven't seen.
What I've seen still heavily involves thinking, discussion, writing, reading, etc. The work just gets augmented in certain corners (e.g., help with paleography).
Yeah the mountains of grift and parasitic AI vendors so outweigh all the meaningful internal engagement that I'm not surprised by (and don't discount) all the strong negative reactions among friends and colleagues.
At any rate, most of what I see in my day-to-day still conforms with the above: careful, critical, hermeneutic, still deeply engaged in humanistic intellectual traditions and practices.

But of course, we're all equally as susceptible to the lazy shortcuts that AI affords.
