Information retrieval or document retrieval? Terminological confusions and unrealistic goals in information science, exemplified in relation to generative artificial intelligence

open access: yesJournal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract ChatGPT and related technologies have revived an old issue in information science (IS) concerning information retrieval (IR) versus document retrieval. Since 1950, the term IR has primarily been used as a misnomer for document retrieval. This problematic terminology reflects a desire to go beyond documents and provide, in response to user ...
