The landscape of genealogy is shifting under our feet once again, and this time, the catalyst is the integration of specialized Artificial Intelligence. I recently spent time analyzing a significant video demonstration regarding the Goldie May AI assistant, and it is clear that we are moving past the "novelty" phase of AI into a period of high-utility application. Here is the video:
AI just changed how much genealogy you can get done
One of my direct line ancestors, Garrard Morgan I (L7GZ-YBB in the FamilySearch.org Family Tree) has been an end-of-line for a long time but also has a fake ancestry attached to him. After watching the video I went to Goldie May Chrome Extension (Goldie May) which works with FamilySearch and other apps, and after a few minutes of trying an AI assisted search, I decided to try it on Garrard Morgan. Within a few minutes it found a hand typed manuscript that had the entire history of the Morgans and clearly showed that the pedigree that had been attached to him was fake. My Morgan family was in Virginia and Kentucky but the document I found was cataloged as being from Alaska. Essentially, Goldie May found a full text search document without me doing the full text search.
I have yet gotten used to AI finding remarkable stuff but this takes the cake. Probably more on this in the near future.
