    An Experiment With Chat GPT – what can you tell me about being a weaver in the Glasgow of the 1820s ?

It came up with some very good copy. I went ont to ask about demography and immigration in Glasgow 1820-1840. Again it did very well and provided excellent skeletons on which to add some flesh for the family history web site.
