How we use AI

A Note on Artistry, Expertise, and AI

In the study of genealogy, we are seekers of truth. We dig through archives, decode old handwriting, and piece together the fragile threads of human history. This work requires a level of nuance, empathy, and expertise that can only be provided by a human heart and a trained mind.

Where AI comes in

AI as a visual collaborator

Because my passion and mastery lie in the depths of historical research and the art of genealogy, I recognize that my strengths are not in the technical production of photography or cinematography. To bridge this gap, I embrace AI as a visual collaborator.

On this website and across my channels, you will find imagery and b-roll created with the help of artificial intelligence. I use these tools to bring the abstract concepts of history to life and to provide a visual experience that complements the quality of the education I provide.

The line I do not cross

The intellectual soul of my work remains entirely human.

Every course, every blog post, and every piece of research is authored by me. My expertise is the engine of this site; AI is simply the lens through which some of those ideas are visualized.

I believe in being honest about where my help comes from, just as I believe in being honest about the histories we uncover.
