    I learned so much new stuff that I will have to review the seminar again. I'm excited to explore the possibilities. By the way, I will be using AI to work with some of the archival material at a local community library. I have been unsuccessful in getting volunteers to translate, but if I can generate a translation, I know I can have someone "proof" it.

    Very interesting. Had no idea about using AI to generate images! Would have liked more input on using AI actual genealogy research or translating, transcribing documents.
