Thank you for sharing the how-to's!! I'm a member of a couple historical societies. One of the things I do for one of them is manage the Society's Facebook page. I've found this extremely helpful for creating social media text, which I struggle with. It works perfectly and takes little time, an extremely helpful hand. 😁👍

I have found it useful to re-write some of my awkward paragraphs. It tends toward the academic style, so I still have to re-write the re-write for the final version. Perhaps I should have given more specific instructions to it.

If you tell ChatGPT who the audience is it is writing for - specific demographics - the output will change. I find this more helpful, than just telling it to be a specific role, when it comes to family history writing.

I've recently started using ChatGPT and have done a couple of sample biographies with it and also asked it to look for names in auction results. It's another tool in the box...

Indeed it is. A bit of a Swiss Army Knife for me and I'll keep sharing more of what I'm doing with it.
