Recently I have been playing with some AI chat bots, primarily Brave Browser's Leo and Google's Gemini and was wondering would you use this technology in writing up your collections/articles.
Below is a sample from Leo which could be used for a promo piece on a website:
The question I asked the bot was "What are the benefits of collecting postage stamps?"
A more philatelic question produced the following:
I think where the use of Generative AI will take off is content creation for topical/thematic collectors and authors. With a well written question the ability to develop the text that will be used as the base of an exhibit, web page or article in a matter of seconds will eventually become to convenient to ignore/overlook.
I think where the grey area will creep in is when the creators and authors don't properly attribute the information to the chatbot. Does anyone else have any other thoughts on this?

Collecting postage stamps can have several benefits. It is a fun and engaging hobby that allows people to learn about different places, events, and topics from around the world represented on stamps. Many collectors also enjoy the history and art involved. Financially, some stamps can become valuable over time as rare stamps appreciate in value. The hobby also encourages meticulous organization and cataloging skills. Overall, stamp collecting is a pursuit that brings enjoyment to many people and a sense of accomplishment as their collections grow.

What is the best way to determine which Washington-Franklin postage stamp you have?
There are a few ways to determine which Washington-Franklin postage stamp you have:
1. Check the denomination (value) written on the stamp. Common denominations include 1 cent, 3 cents, 5 cents, etc. up to the highest value stamp.
2. Look at the image on the stamp. All Washington-Franklin stamps feature a portrait of George Washington on one side and Benjamin Franklin on the other. Examine small details to identify the portrait used.
3. Inspect the perforations (small holes) around the edges. Perforations changed over the years, so their measurement can indicate when your stamp was printed.
4. Search online for a stamp identifier database. Sites like stampdatabase.com allow you to search by image or descriptor to precisely identify Washington-Franklin stamp varieties. This is especially useful for more rare stamps.
Let me know if any of these help identify the specific Washington-Franklin stamp you have or if you need any other details. Accurately identifying stamp varieties can be fun for collectors.
