I used Gemini 1.5 Pro Experimental 0801 to summarize Google's own 286-page antitrust ruling, i.e., Gemini explains monopoly case against its own creator. Placing the entire 526 KB monopoly finding brought by the U.S. DOJ into the System Instructions, fixing the whole doc in the context window, mitigates against hallucinations (I've found ZERO, so far. Post includes summary, NYT link, Gemini usage guide, and court document. #Geneadons #genealogy #AIGenealogy

To navigate the complexities of AI use and disclosure, family historians and genealogists might consider a middle ground known as the "human rule." This rule-of-thumb suggests that if human assistance is allowed for a task, then AI assistance should also be permissible; similarly, if disclosure is required when a human helps with something, then it should also be required if AI is used.

Initially, I was underwhelmed by the release of GPT-4o. But when I started hearing claims about handwritten text recognition and text-rendering inside generated images, I excited began to investigate. Here's what I discovered, some encouraging, some disappointing.
GPT-4o Review:
🔹 General overview,
🔹 Handwritten text recognition examined,
🔹 Text rendering in images tested.
ChatGPT is now fast, free, and enhanced!

@KottalGenealogy @genchat sadly for a long time a lot of people think that because it's online it must be true, without ever thinking where the historical record might be, who transcribed it etc.? Introduce AI / ChatGPT and you potentially have a complete work of fiction. #genchat #AIgenealogy

OpenAI's rollout of custom #GPTs for #ChatGPT Plus users marks a leap in AI's adaptability for specialized tasks, here with a focus on #AIGenealogy.

Highlighted by experts as a bridge towards more autonomous AI, these tools demonstrate practical applications in specific fields.

I introduce four FREE #genealogy GPTs, each with unique capabilities in aiding family history research.

No, my forays into handwriting recognition have been more modest, so far. You? Would Transkribus be a better option for folks with that need? Here a my experiments with handwriting recognition:

Microsoft's "Copilot in Word" is AI. Access is expanding; soon instead of only visiting special sites to use LLMs, familiar apps will directly integrate LLMs, surpassing plugins and extensions.

Some interesting "failures" with ChatGPT Plus with DALL-E 3. Some results while trying to create an image of a family tree from a bit of an Ahnentafel list.

ChatGPT with Vision (GPT-4V) now translates handwritten WWII draft cards into structured data! Not just reading, but correctly labeling text fields (e.g., name, address).

ChatGPT Plus (GPT-4V) is going to be able to do some cool stuff.

New Use Case: Intelligence Image Analysis.

#AIGenealogy #AIGenealogyInsights #familyHistory #genealogy #Histodons #Geneadons

Even cooler? I snapped a photo of my laptop displaying a pedigree chart using my phone. GPT-4V extracted the info, commented on potential pedigree collapse, and displayed it in a narrative report.

Next up: testing handwritten pedigree charts and other formats. With GPT-4V API access on the horizon, think about the potential apps and tools we could create!

#AIGenealogy #familyHistory #genealogy #Histodons #Geneadons

Here's what I asked GPT-4V: "Explain the Ahnentafel naming system. Then, extract data from a pedigree chart and format it into an Ahnentafel list." I included a simple pedigree chart image with the prompt. Blown away! GPT-4V nailed it on the first attempt. All data extracted from the chart and stored in an #Ahnentafel list. No mistakes, no fuss.

GPT-4 with Vision is more than an AI assistant. It showcases a robust OCR, unlocking potential in extracting genealogical data from pictures of diagrams and charts.

GPT-4V boasts advanced OCR. Its test on a fan chart failed due to curved text, but it excelled with pedigree charts. GPT-4V converted a pedigree image into an Ahnentafel list. Smartphone images yielded accurate results. This innovation simplifies transferring genealogy data digitally. With upcoming API access, the future of genealogical tools is bright.

I gave a presentation titled “Empowering Genealogists with AI” to the National Genealogical Society on September 6, 2023. The talk covered emerging beneficial use cases of AI-assisted genealogy, addressed current limits, privacy issues, and ethical concerns, and included a homework assignment you can complete to create an AI-generated handout as practice (jump to 1:04:00 for instructions).
