SNGF -- Write a Genealogy Poem Using AI

Calling all Genea-Musings Fans:

It's Saturday Night Again -

Time For Some More Genealogy Fun!!

Here is our assignment from Randy Seaver of Genea-Musings tonight:  

1)  Have you ever written poetry?  About genealogy research?  Do you want to? 

2)  You can use the FREE ChatGPT-4o tool to write a poem (or perhaps another GPT tool).  Write a prompt with details of what you want to include, and let the AI chatbot do the job for you!

Here’s mine:
I will be honest. I am not a poet. I do not understand poetry. I do not even like poetry unless it rhymes. This is also the fastest I have put together a SNGF post, but it is because I did not write it. I am upfront here. It was written by a chatbot.

My prompt:
“I am a genealogist, who enjoys bird watching, hiking, taking photos of wildflowers, and watching baseball and tennis. Write a poem about me.”

ChatGPT4’s response with a poem:

In the archives of history, you delve so deep,
Tracing roots and branches, secrets to keep.
A genealogist's heart beats with timeless lore,
Stories of ancestors you eagerly explore.

Through the whispers of leaves and the rustling trees,
You hike the wild trails, with a heart full of ease.
Birds sing your anthem as you wander the land,
With binoculars ready and camera in hand.

You capture wildflowers in vibrant bloom,
Each petal a memory, dispelling all gloom.
A palette of nature, a feast for the eyes,
In your photographs, the wild beauty lies.

When the sun dips low and the stars start to gleam,
You find joy in the games of your childhood dreams.
Baseball's crack echoes, a symphony's call,
And tennis serves grace on the court's wide sprawl.

Your passions are many, from past to the present,
A life richly woven, each moment a crescent.
In nature and sports, in history's embrace,
You live life with wonder, with joy, and with grace.
