What does ChatGPT reveal about the polygamy narrative? I won't give it away, but it is AMAZING! Stay tuned until the end (or skip forward to the end) so you don't miss it.

In the meantime, what is happening to the evidence that helped solidify the polygamy narrative and the assumption that Joseph MUST have been the author of polygamy? These stories are amazing! It is definitely time to reassess our certainty.
