Say thank you!
This forum is slowly but surely heading towards having no future.
A) Most people with questions likely turn to so-called AI (and receive answers that are more or less correct; unless the questions are incredibly trivial, the answers tend to be wrong).
B) Others ask here and get more well-founded answers. Since AI costs nothing and is a machine, you don't have to reply to it. But people who answer here are giving up their time; at the very least, a quick "thank you" would be appreciated, though it seems that is no longer considered necessary.
If you forget that, so go ahead—ask the AI!

Horst, I am not as pssimistic as you, I have used AI to identify some of my prints and get more information about them (like waka poets, plays, etc) and often I find that AI doesnt get much valuable information, or goes into the wrong track that has nothing to do with woodprints. So, unless the queries are about pritnts that are well documented on internet, the forum has a future. AI wouldnt know about publisher and censor seals and cant read sealscript. I am not even sure AI would identify actors and their roles.
