Automating Transcription with ChatGPT

I recently discovered a trove of online newspaper archives for an region where a branch of my family research is focused. Advantage Archives partners with mostly small-town libraries, especially in the midwestern USA, to digitize old newspaper archives and put them online.

The discovery of all these newpaper archives has led me to want to transcribe and write source citations for hundreds of articles. You know what’s tedious? Transcribing and citing hundreds of articles! This is a job for automation!
