The Strategy of Using AI for Genealogical Research - James Tanner (18 Aug 2024)

The full text feature has already helped me to breach a few brick walls, so grateful for that and looking forward to more advances and progress. Most helpful so far have been wills and deeds of gift or ones used for settling estates such as when one sibling buys out the interests of all the other heirs. Or conversely the heirs as a group will sometimes buy out the interest of one party.

I have been hesitant (almost afraid) to use AI until now even though I have been watching several presentations in the last month or so. But now watching about two of your BYU presentations on AI, I am ready to try it. Thank you very much Mr Tanner for your brilliant way of making AI less intimidating.🤩 Should I get phonomal success, I'll comment it to the other AI presentation that you did.

I used an ai to help me do some research but a very strange thing happened the first two days I was using it the more data I was giving it the more it was coming back saying “thank you with the information you’re giving me I’m now going to cross reference”etc. but then all of a sudden like, a few days later I went back to the system and it suddenly said “I’m sorry here’s a list of resources i cant find the data I am unable to acess these documents so I don’t know what the hell is going on it seems to help you only when it feels like helping you!
