   I've been using AI to help with my genealogical research, and it's been fantastic. I am loving pushing the family history back and catching mistakes that someone who many others share as a common ancestor have made.

      Current models are amazing at one shot decoding hand written vital records. I thought there might be some friction, but if there is, I haven’t found any. I’ve unlocked lots of detail from records I already had just because I didn’t try to translate the handwriting due to the time required.
