https://www.theformidablegenealogist.com/category/all-products Hi, I'm Jen and I like to keep it very simple and transparent. If you're here, you're interested in family history, which happens to be my full-time job and full-time passion.

Only 19 spots remain for this event! 36 already sold! This will sell out.

Don't delay if you're considering joining me for a full day of genealogy collaboration, learning and community building. The best part is that YOU help shape what we discuss in large groups and small groups.

After you sign up, you will fill out a questionnaire letting me know what you want to see at this event. Make sure to sign up soon so that you can give me feedback regarding the content of the event before I have it all planned!

Oof. On August 11, I posted a video that contained 2 completely AI created obituaries. They both looked like real newspaper clippings, which is terrifying and I made the video as a warning.

I predict these fictional obits are going to start showing up in online trees and people will start copying the fake obits and assuming theyā€™re real since they are indistinguishable from real newspaper images.

This commenter confirmed my fears. Iā€™m right about this, right? Isnā€™t this a terrible idea to create fake obits that look like real newspapers?
