I really hate AI, but I thought this setup was nice - for once. John Voight starts out and then it transistions to the AI with Congress arguing. Then Frnaklin give his speech.

AI is like any other innovation - it can be used well or poorly.

Your post is an example of how it can make history much more accessible and compelling for educational purposes.

Take note of the leadership, insight, and wisdom of Franklin who understood what was going wrong among the members and missing from the meetings. What was missing was the Lord’s presence and the Framer’s failure to seek God’s assistance in their endeavor. So, before all subsequent session they opened with prayer, invoking God’s presence, insight, wisdom, and blessings upon their endeavor.. Franklin understood that anything worth doing had to be done with the Lord’s presence, participation, and blessing, if that work product stood any chance of lasting success.

I wonder if there’s a quill pen in the glove box.
