Isaac K Funk (1839–1912) was an American clergyman, editor, publisher, lexicographer and psychical investigator, best known as co-founder of Funk & Wagnalls. In later life he investigated mediumship, published two books on psychic phenomena and argued that spiritualist claims deserved careful study despite widespread fraud and uncertainty. https://psi-encyclopedia.spr.ac.uk/articles/isaac-k-funk/

Uploaded 15 June 2026 "Our Use of AI": AI came to the Psi Encyclopedia (PE) after General Editor James (Jim) Matlock and I had a Messenger conversation about how it might help with editing. Having decided to add to each PE article an introductory summary of about 45 words and three highlights of less than 20 words each, Jim was anticipating spending months writing 725+ of these. I suggested that we have ChatGPT (5.4, Extended Thinking) do it instead. We tested and tweaked the prompt for about 45 minutes, I resolved that Chat would complete the entire job in under 24 hours, and it succeeded. https://psi-encyclopedia.spr.ac.uk/2026/06/15/our-use-of-ai/
