Is AI useful for Genealogy

Up to quite recently I have not found AI or at least the free versions very useful for genealogical searches. But while working on one of the other threads on this site I find that things are stating to change and that AI might have a useful place in determing family history. I used regular plain Google search for this person . "ole vetelsen 1769 tinn, telemark, norway" I was hoping to find a link to a useful Family Tree such as those found on Geni.com. Such a link would make finding information on other family members of this person significantly easier. What appeared on my computer was this information. These are results for ole vetlesen 1769 tinn, telemark, norway Search instead for ole vetelsen 1769 tinn, telemark, norway AI Overview Based on Norwegian genealogical and historical parish records, Ole Vetlesen was born in Telemark, Norway, and lived a long life spanning the turn of the 19th century. Key Vital Details Birth & Baptism: He was baptized in 1769 in Telemark, Norway. (Some source systems approximate his birth year as 1767 based on later census tracking). Marriage: He married Gyri Johnsdatter (born circa 1774). Residence: The family lived in Telemark and is explicitly recorded in the 1801 Census of Norway. Death: He passed away in 1853 at approximately 86 years of age. Historical & Geographical Context During Ole's lifetime, Tinn was a parish and historic municipality located in the upper, inland region of Aust-Telemark. Because Tinn was isolated by rugged terrain and deep watercourses like Lake Tinnsjø, its farming families often remained rooted in the exact same valleys and farm clusters for generations with very little outside influence.
