From what incredibly limited research I have done (literally just asking ChatGPT), it seems like they actually set up mutual aid networks in Tulsa. But I just want to know the general analysis of Black Wall Street.

    literally just asking ChatGPT

    I don't wanna be too harsh but this might actually be worse than looking up nothing at all, ChatGPT will freely spew nonsense if that's what it thinks you want to hear. Even Wikipedia is a better source.

    As to the question itself I'm not particularly knowledgeable on this or any other Black Wall Streets in the US (a few come up in Google searches), but I think some ethnographic work would be necessary useful to get into what is mutual aid vs simply engaging economically along ethnic lines because no one else will deal with you (or if the latter is even a disqualifying factor for the former).

    Would recommend poking around JSTOR and other libraries for any literature if you really wanna get stuck in.

        It absolutely does, the technical term for it is a "hallucination". It will not only make things up but it will make something up and keep it consistent within a conversation.

          Don't people use it for essays and shit? Wouldn't it be painfully obvious for anyone reading that it's an AI-generated work.

            The longer an AI generated work is the more obvious it becomes that it's AI generated. People do use AI for essays and do get caught because the AI makes shit up. You can miss this if you're not familiar with the topic.

            AI is also heavily used in journalism. Most front-page stuff is still written by humans but a lot of boilerplate reporting is written algorithmically. The practice will only increase in the future.
