Ill be honest Ive never really done this ....

Im going to give it a try and will keep ya posted ..thx for the interesting thread..

Great idea

@sebo - I'm using 3 different free AI's most days - each has their own unique style as well as stregths and weaknesses:

ChatGPT

Perplexity.ai

Claude.ai

They are far from perfect, and some of the information is totally false. However, in aggregate, they provide way more good ideas than bad, and almost always move the level of understanding forward leading to real progress.

You can attach entire reports, minfiles, data tables, assays, etc, and let the AI's interpret them for you, identify flaws in historical work as well as recommend modern exploration strategies.

I find that a good approach to prompting is to follow these steps:

1. You are a _______. (Pick your expert)
2. You want to _______. (Pick your general topic)
3. Now do this ______. (The immediate task at hand)

If the chat starts to get off topic then start a new one using the above three points.

So for example:

1. You are a mineral exploration consultant.
2. You want to:
3. Analyze flaws in historical mining work in the early 1900’s
4. Analyze flaws in exploration strategy by the author of the report, plus what they should have done instead
5. Analyze ways to use modern geologic and mineral exploration knowledge, tools and techniques plus other modern technologies to gain a better understanding of this gold deposit
6. Now analyze the attached PDF, and provide details about a [DEPOSIT_TYPE] gold deposit on the _____ property near _____, BC, Canada.

I use that framework for a variety of different topics and tend to get very high quality results.

I hope that helps!

I feel AI should not be accepted by ARIS in any form as I have started to see signs of it in reports with alot of wrong information. Mineral exploration is based on boots on the ground work, and even historical data compilation by AI has proven to me to be highly incorrect.

CuPorphyryDaddy - some good points above. It's an arms race between people usign AI, and government organizations using AI to detect AI usage (in mining, education, etc). The parts that AI gets right can be quite useful in exploration in my opinion. It's about knowing the limitations of the tools, and using accordingly.
