- We're tackling questions like: What are AI chatbots? What are the top chatbots? Are they private? Why are they free and will they stay free? Should you trust the results? Watch to the end to see the shocking results I received when using it for genealogy! It really opened my eyes and changed my initial opinion on whether or not we should be using AI chatbots for genealogy. Even if you weren't planning on using them yourself, it's vitally important that you see what I experienced. Other people are going to use this technology. They are going to be integrating their findings into what they share online, and you will inevitably come across that information. In this video, I mention ChatGBT. I meant to say Chat GPT which is the one from Open AI. There is a ChatGBT which uses the Open AI API, but it is not affiliated with them. Both are Chatbots. My focus in this video is in using Bard.

There is a good video by Blaine Bettinger called 10 GPT prompts for genealogists to use. The best prompts are in the form of (1) assume a role to (2) perform a task and (3) output the result into a specific format, such as a list or table.
One example was "extract the names from this obituary and output them into a bullet list."
"Transcribe this will."
As you mentioned, though, if you ask for a "story" about your ancestor, it will provide fiction.
Lisa, Your experience with the "creative" side of AI is very instructive. As a person of "advanced years", shall we say, I have been slow to adopt new technologies, not because I don't understand them but because I have learned to be cautious. Thanks for taking the risk on our behalf.
All I can say is "WOW!" I don't think I'm ready for this. Thanks so much for this video.
while I enjoyed this video, I think it misses the point, unless the purpose is to point out that these "large language models" are not much good at searching. Their value is in editing already written text, doing OCR, organizing text (outlining, indexing, etc.) formatting text (such as arranging in a table), extracting text, such as looking at an obit and pulling out the facts and relationships, such as GenealogyBank does on some of their obits. It was super interesting that the chatbot replied to your accusation though!
The point of this video was that genealogists are asking whether they should use chatbots and we wanted to help explore that. They may be "large language models", but Google's Bard (the one we demonstrated) does pull from search results and they've stated that search is the beneficiary and reason for this technology.
Even more concerning is what is going to happen to us outside of the genealogy realm.....
Thanks! One correction: it’s ChatGPT (not ChatGBT), which is for Generative Pre-trained Transformer.
Yes! I hope Lisa edits the video to correct that ... at least in the graphics that displayed "GBT" ... as I believe this video will have viewers for quite some time into the future.
Bard told me my great-grandfather founded the Scott Paper Company. I almost died from laughter. Maybe I'll have claim to an inheritance of some sort? ;)
" The facts in this collection were found using artificial intelligence technology and may contain errors. Learn more" This message popped up under an Ancestry Hint. I know you have said review the hints: I will now add review, review, and review some more! Thanks so much for sharing this informations.
Appalled but not surprised. They may have taught machines many things but not what "truth" means! Original records are what we need, not a computer's interpretation. Thanks for all your hard work!
Well said. Thank you.
Wow Lisa! That had to be shocking and infuriating! To be boldface lied to by a bot. Yikes! I was thinking it might be useful to get in-depth and specifics on history but NOPE. YIKES YIKES YIKES. And I am so glad you thought to respond to the Bot! I always come away from your videos with solid take always. Thank you. (From Not a Bot!)
Great video! I love the ending! We can't escape A.I. and we are using it in positive ways now as you mentioned, but I completely agree about using ChatGPT to "find people." Thanks!
WhoW!!! What an interesting result to your trying AI out! It is so hard to believe AI would try to trick you. This does not bode well with me at all.
I asked the Snapchat AI to show me the paintings of Henrik Ibsen. It kept insting he's not a painter. Finally I replied he's both a writer and a painter. At which point the AI replied it didn't know that, and couldn't show me any paintings. I'm not impressed!
Wow Lisa, that was crazy. What is the point if it’s going to make things up? How many people are relying on the responses they get from it?😮
Wow! I cannot believe it tried to trick you. Thank you for this insightful video. I have often wondered how useful something like this tool can be, but clearly it is well outside the way conscientious genealogists do research.
I personally do not like chatting with robots and keep requesting to chat with a live person when dealing with companies. The fact that you can now have AI "write" for you raises many concerns for me about liability and intellectual property and what is not being read before it goes out to the public under someone's name. But I have to say that to call out a computer and have IT, a machine, admit that all it provided was fiction is indeed SHOCKING! And pretty creepy--Do we really want computers trained to CON us? It reminds me of the increasingly clever ways robocalls are using to get you to think there is a real person on the line, to get you to interact before they start their automated spiel. I personally do not see a need to use a bot to give me questionable assistance in my genealogy research. I appreciate you testing this out for us, Lisa, and keeping us up-to-date on genie buzz--thank you!
Wow! Thank you, Lisa, for doing this research and helping us make informed decisions about our online genealogy work!
Thank you, Lisa! We genealogists need to know the limitations of this technology whose praises are being sung constantly lately. You did a great job of doing this!
Way to go, Lisa, I love that you called out AI, and it fessed up!
I guess I’m “old school” When it comes to trust or maybe it’s just that I never learned to trust as a child due to my background, but I have had things pop up that said transcribed by AI and I moved on without giving it a second glance because the transcriptions were always wrong! Thanks, Lisa for sharing this for those of us who may tend to be too trusting of things that are too easy.
This is one of the best video on AI and genealogy that I have viewed. Thank you.
Absolutely fascinating. I’ve found it useful for generating ideas or giving it specific tasks in other fields but have consistently found it to be wrong when asking for information. I correct it when I can and it appears to be relying on us to do so, yet many (most?) people probably take its answers at face value, reinforcing its erroneous answers. It had not occurred to me that it was actually testing us in the ways you’ve suggested, but it seems clear to me now, from what you’ve said and my limited experience, that that is the case. Bravo for your excellent analysis, the same aptitude makes you an incredible genealogist no doubt!
Thanks and I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
That was eye opening.
Wow! Thanks for the heads up.
Wow… Thank you! That was an eye opener that I expected. In my opinion, as frustrating as it is doing research, follow your gut. Do the research until you are satisfied with the result that you see and trust.
Those are large language models. They are fine for coming up with creative ideas, summaries of texts, scaffolding for writing etc. But not for search or accurate information. I have used it for creative writing brainstorming and am currently seeing if I can use them to write basic first draft biographies by feeding them the data that I’ve collected and verified… so far I’m not convinced that it is of any help with that apart from summing up the data into a chronological order.
I'm not interacting with a machine programmed to reply like a manipulative narcissist lol...Thanks for sharing your experience.
Excellent presentation. ~3K
Great Video. Thanks for making it. I was shocked with Bard's fictional output ! So many people believe if it's on the internet, it must be true.
An AI Chatbot is said to "hallucinate" when it generates a complete falsehood or is flat out wrong. Like yours, there have been some very interesting examples of this. It is acknowledged that the technology is a work in progress.
Great video, and thanks for the information about AI. Do not think I will use it. Started genealogy many years before computers so still look for the books, but I do use the internet and computer. Thanks.
I tried to signed up for CHAT GPT, it will not take my VOIP phone number (the only number I have).
Thank You Lisa😊❤😂❤
As a tech-nerd 🤓🤓 just getting into genealogy, this is one of the best explanations on AI that I've seen ☺☺.
People definitely need to educate themselves on new technologies, especially AI b4 diving into it. As the old saying goes, Check yourself B4 you wreck yourself lol
I asked PerplexityAI where the ships passport records are online for a certain area and found my ancestors record. That passport told me the exact area where he was born. So I found his birth, marriage, and his childrens birth records. Now I can trace the family line back.
I use Ai all the time, but I wouldn't trust it to give me information, I like using it to rephrase things, summarize my input, and test my logic
Shouldn't that be ChatGTP not ChatGBT ?
In this video, I mention ChatGBT. I meant to say Chat GPT which is the one from Open AI. There is a ChatGBT which uses the Open AI API, but it is not affiliated with them. Both are Chatbots. My focus in this video is in using Bard.
You are mistaken on Bing chat not being creative and saying that Bard and chat GTP are. Microsoft Bing chat uses chat GTP four at this moment for all of its stuff plus being connected to the Internet which chat GTP does not
Typo alert: It's ChatGPT ... not GTP or (as Lisa used) GBT.
See my comments in the video description regarding both ChatGPT and ChatGBT.
I expect any AI generated information to be as correct as the typical family tree on line and the stories that ancestry generates are laughable.
Wow, what a cheek it had to spin you a load of lies! Definitely one to avoid.
Oh, that's hilarious that AI is not above B.S. when answering.
I'm uncomfortable with this whole AI thing.
