The strangest thing I’ve done with an LLM lately is genealogical. I’m adopted. A couple years ago I connected with my birth family. Using details they’ve provided and genetic testing, aided by a swarm of blood robots, I’ve unearthed huge swaths of my history. Ancestry.com hosts extensive databases of: draft cards, Ellis Island arrival documents, marriage and death and birth records, newspaper archives. The monthly fee is hefty, and I’ve never paid for access before because the thought of digging through databases makes me wilt. But Claude could dig, couldn’t it?
