Is anyone with AI expertise analyzing JFK files?


The JFK Files, some of which were just released today, are thousands of text-based PDF files. They seem like a really good match for the capabilities of current LLMs.

Is there anyone who's making a serious attempt at extracting data and analyzing the JFK files?

Mention a few here, but my intent of writing this was mainly a warning of don't put much weight into any AI analysis.

Exactly what use-case do you think LLMs would help with?

They might help people who don't know the exact terms or synonyms they want to search for, but they don't make logical inferences or detect contradictions. If anything there's a risk that they'll inject bias from blogposts and fiction-books and conspiracy-stories present in all the training-data.

Yes, and the conclusion is that the JFK files released today are the exact same set released under Biden with a new cover sheet on the package.
