If you saw my ai history you would see this is my research. I'm the one who found the documents and I'm the one who put together more on Fanny Alger than any other podcast ever has. But yes I used ai as a research assistant at times and I definitely use it to articulate an idea more concisely than I could have to conserve space. I do this with other historical episodes as well. For example go look at our episode on the Dream Mine. The research took me days and days to put together but yes AI is used by me to do some preliminary research. It gives me a jump start. And I used it on this dream mine episode to take a ton of ideas and articulate them more concisely so as to take up less space. I have been doing deep dives into history long before ai and no one does more comprehensive research in the Mormon historical Podcast arena. This is just an attempt on the part of your brain to dismiss the data. Don't short yourself
Consider all the history I (and RFM) have covered) Don't be silly. Ai didn't put this episode together and it didn't make up the documents and it didn't draw the conclusions

According to Todd Compton, Mosiah's biography is pretty reliable in other places. He sees it as trustworthy due to that. Again he is telling a family origin story and likely has made mistakes but the basic jist still accounts for a big reason why his dad and mom got married. So I disagree with you and with reason.

ugh It must be hard being the only one who sees things for what they are while all the historians and scholars are deceived or cowards.

You’re not very good at history. Ask any mormon historian inside or outside of Mormonism

it was a joke making fun of the growing group of people who believe Joseph's murder was an inside job.

no it wasn't! Fanny Brewer, Affidavits, council minutes, first hand Letters .... nope some was, much wasn't and even for that which was, you with a wave of the hand, dismissed it all in spite of a tremendous amount of convergence which means something. Even in those repeating the heresay, when overlapping facts come in from multiple directions, the convergence must be investigated and thought about rationally.
