Discourse Depot is a public, independent scholarly project that uses large language models as research instruments to examine how generative AI is described, explained, and naturalized in popular, technical, and academic discourse. Founded in October 2025 by Troy Davis, a librarian at William Political Framing; Critical Forensic; Critical Activist; and others); The analytical instruments themselves — the system-instruction-and-schema designs that generate the analyses, advanced under a "prompt as scholarship" pedagogy in which the prompt is the scholarly artifact; Pedagogical materials, including the Glass Box Syllabus, an alignment of the audit prompts with the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy, and an educator's FAQ on generative AI; Interactive learning objects (LLM Training Journey, LLM Inference Journey, and others) and a companion library of standalone, citable analysis artifacts. The accompanying essay, "Looking Through the Glass Box," sets out the project's argument in full.
