Is your EKA information accurate?

Genealogically speaking, when the English wills get transcribed (and some are being transcribed using AI) and made ¡°available¡±, then turning AI loose with that info could do wonders for ¡°Colonials¡± looking for British relatives.

Happy New Year to all.
My view has always been that the value of technology lies mainly in the users intent. However, with AI things become somewhat blurred.

Good Morning. I do very extensive genealogy research with many services. Some use AI. I have found AI can be a useful tool, but it has its¡¯ limitations. Occasionally AI interprets information completely wrong. Additionally, it does not give you the true meaning of the document. There are many tools that will help decipher and interpret documents. I find it useful best not to use AI where other tools are available. I have extensive trees that date my German and English heritage back to the 1500s or more. AI will never replace humans. AI cannot think, it interprets. The one given being is that if you make one simple mistake it can cause your trees to be complete wrong. AI cannot spot those mistakes. Genealogy is a slow and deliberate science

Happy New Year

Even more impressive that a machine composed it.

It is impressive, but it raises the issue of what may be the uses and abuses of Ai in the realm of genealogy. Has anyone looked into this?

Regards, and best wishes to all for a healthy and happy New Year!
