This feels doubly egregious because of how much time Trouillot spends talking about language, talking about what it means to call something a "history of" something. If you cannot audit a model for the logic behind its "suppositions," then the work you're doing isn't reparative or compensatory.

But more seriously, and I think egregiously, is the use of a phrase for signaling power. One doesn't get the sense that those who invoke "archival silences" in the context of GenAI have heard of Touillot, much less read him. Instead, the phrase has been emptied of meaning and is just sloganeering.
