Using ChatGPT in Family History (or anything) - 5 Prompts that WILL Work 

Great interview. I haven't yet used ChatGPT for genealogy. This has been the most straightforward, clear, practical information I've seen so far. I plan to type up some of the phrases he suggests and save them in a Word document. Amazing stuff!

This was very useful. The hardest part for me is refining my prompt. It was so nice that Steve gave a specific five step approach and then gave five different examples. Great interview!

Very interesting information once I figured out what you were talking about. Having a short intro on what ChatGPT is would have been helpful.

When talking about feeding a multi-page document into the prompt (such as a long will), it would help to know specifics, such as "Can I scan this document in?" A few simple hows associated with the various examples he used in the beginning of the interview would be helpful when relying on printed documents rather than simple word/phrase prompts. Fascinating bot to be sure.

I’m taking a brute force route for my favorite family to research and just transcribing every record under that surname in the county before 1890, spitting it all to ChatGPT and seeing if it successfully does the critical thinking for me.

Very interesting interview. I've let ChatGPT scare me off. But now with the helpful prompts and knowing how to word them to get what I'm hoping for I might give it a try.

Great info must try this out ☘️

So i did what steve said (i think) and was told chatgpt wasn't a genealogy expert. Maybe my question was wrong?

AI is really fascinating, but scary at the same time.
