 Ancestry’s New AI Record Explore Feature Explore Ancestry's Records with AI!Ancestry has just come out with a new AI records feature, a few days ago, that allows you to further explore your ancestor’s records, using AI technology, that further enhances your family history experience! Records Available with This Feature (For Now)
How to Get to Ancestry's AI Record Explorer
Currently in BETA ModeThis feature is new and currently in BETA mode, and they have already changed the results that are churned out quite a few times already. The moment this feature popped up, while working on a client’s case, I quickly checked it out on a possible record I was already in the process of viewing, when it just all of the sudden appeared before my eyes. The first AI record exploration I tried had extremely flowery language and made me laugh. It also seemed to add a lot of context that was not based on facts. I quickly went to my own tree and tried it out on a few of my own ancestor’s records. Within minutes, the tone and mood of the results had changed, along with it sticking more to the facts, with context slightly truer to the facts. As of today, it has now changed to pretty much just straight facts, without much of a tone or mood of any kind. I prefer the second change, with a little context and slight tone and mood. Check out the examples below! Update: Within minutes after I gave the “as of today” above, it has changed again. So, I guess you’ll never know what you will get, until they work out all the kinks. 😉 Ancestry AI Record Explorer with WW II Draft Ancestry AI Record Explorer Example 1: WW II Draft Card Ancestry AI Record Explorer with Census Record Ancestry AI Record Explorer Example 2: Census Record  Ancestry AI Record Explorer Example 2-1: Census Record As you can see, from these 4 different versions generated, each at different times, since release, the output keeps changing, but I'm sure they'll find a perfect balance. This is a fantastic, fun addition, and I hope to eventually be able to explore more records with this AI feature!

Agree, the feature is evolving and interesting but still not ready for prime time IMHO. Will hope it gets better! 4/21/2024 10:44:04 am
It is definitely evolving! I think this is an interesting feature indeed. I actually see the potential of this being very useful. :) 4/15/2024 09:51:18 am
I see the potential of this, definitely. I'll be interested to see how it evolves. 4/21/2024 10:45:52 am
I definitely see the potential of this being very useful, even to us. I am positive it is quite useful for beginners. :) 4/15/2024 10:46:58 am
Looks like an interesting feature to check out. Thanks for the tips and examples! 4/17/2024 01:59:35 am
My mother used to quote an old, old laundry soap commercial: "What DUZ doesn't do for me, I do for myself." One of the things I enjoy about genealogy is the detective work, tracking down that elusive document, sometimes the old-fashioned way by writing to various archives, agencies, libraries, and what-not and ordering paper records. This AI seems to me to take the fun out of that. 4/21/2024 10:48:53 am
This AI feature does not do that, it just simply transcribes it, while trying to add some context to it. :) 4/22/2024 05:13:22 am
Once I recover from the A to Z Challenge, I must give this a try. It would have been very helpful when the 1950 US Census first came out! 4/22/2024 05:30:13 am
Have fune, a let me know what you think. I'm not sure how helpful it would have been for the 1950 Census. ;) Leave a Reply. |
