If of interest, a quirky use of AI paired with a history tour I took. 

I visited the museum for a 1920s  evangelist, Aimee Semple MacPherson, here in Los Angeles.  In her day, she was one of the best-known Americans.   Chat GPT helped me condense a short, informative essay that records my visit:

I said, Chat GPT "helped me condense."  

Condense what?  

For the curious, I'll leave a link to my lengthy Q&A with Chat GPT over 30 or 40 minutes as I was putting together my thoughts.   It shows be chatting with AI in peak "nerd mode," but it became the “input” that created the shorter blog above.
