This review is for Prabook, an encyclopedia of biographies. I entered the address I found on the web to get here. I don’t know how to do a Google review without using Google maps. I discovered Prabook by googling my name last week. I was very surprised to find my biography Prabook at the top of a Google .search. I discovered many surprises. I contacted Prabook at their email address asking for a change since I was unable to achieve edits by clicking the edit box. I was amazed to receive an accommodating reply the very next day. I have subsequently requested additional revisions. The revisions are essentially updating or deleting details. I was amazed at the relative accuracy of Prabook. Looking further, I discovered that pre-book biographies are pretty much generated by artificial intelligence assembling information that’s publicly available on the web. When I read my mother‘s maiden name, my eyebrows went up and I went.Hmmm. That’s no longer an appropriate “security question“. The machine (AI) has every right to include that public information. I have been amazed at the speed of response and the quality of revisions as well as the accuracy of my biography on a Prabook. In my look into the history and status of Prabook, I noticed some nasty attempts, likely from competitors, to damage the Prabook reputation. From my perspective, you should have no fear finding your own biography and updating it as appropriate. I find this a valuable resource and my rating is five stars.
