Ancestry Thrulines

[jc26red]

All very nice and pretty but they don't include all the dna matches that we identify but they don't, and worse yet they include all the nonsense ones that they identify and we can't reject.

I have yet to receive the new version and quite disappointed. I would prefer they fix the evaluation to allow me to reject  peoples dubious tree matches which are obviously wrong.  Personally I don’t think AI  should be part of family history when there are so many people believing in Ancestry’s claim “just enter a name….”.

To be fair I don't know for sure if the new display involves AI. I just think it has a feel of AI.

If it has the feel of AI then it's not very good. You shouldn't be able to tell the difference.  Sadly you almost always can. I strongly believe that this has been unleashed on the world two years too soon, before it has been adequately developed and fully tested.

My list of bizarre AI experiences gets longer by the week.

There must be problems, I have been  reverted to the original Thrulines view.

[Alison55]

Thanks for that. I just checked and I’ve been reverted also.

I have been reverted too. Personally I hope it never comes back. Too much scrolling.

I have just looked and I have the new version

I am sorry I don't understand what people mean here about 'accepting' and 'rejecting' information from Thru lines.  Is there an option to add something to your tree from Thru lines? Personally, I don't add anything to my tree unless I have found it for myself using primary sources.  Why would I even think about believing something in Thrulines when it is so obviously wrong most of the time. The best way to improve thrulines is to be meticulous with your own tree, extending it beyond your direct line.  Surprisingly, Thru lines can then straighten itself out.

Yes, there is an option to add directly to your tree.  It gets worst, in that you do not even need to accurately research what you are adding.

That said I have had a lot of success being pedantic in working through Thrulines one person at a time since I use it as a rough unproven guideline.

If only people would be more careful it would help in them having accurate trees.
