Using Steve Little's AI Fact Extractor
I first heard about Steve Little’s new ChatGPT Fact Extractor from
a few weeks ago. Today, I had the chance to use it! I found an article in an online newspaper source from 1946 that I was interested in. I downloaded a JPEG image of it, then uploaded it to Steve’s Fact Extractor using his prompt… and VOILÀ! It was astoundingly accurate and informative. This tool is a must in everyone’s genealogy toolbox!Thank you,
