I did this a long time ago partly because I often received posts in a different way on both devices and it took more time to look at but audio there was no temptation to spend more time on the phone. Just as I only hedge WhatsApp on my phone and laptop but not on my tablet. Way to go!!!

It's been a while since I have written on my blogs but today I have been playing around with a suggested AI prompt that I used in Co-Pilot and was happy with the end result after a few revisions and addional information. #FamilyHistory #GenealogyStories

I couldn't resist because I love a steak and kidney suet pudding

And I'll confuse things and say that there are also savoury puddings in the UK...as in steak and kidney pudding which is traditionally made with suet as the fat for the "pudding" bit and the steak and kidney in gravy is in the middle. Steamed in the same size bowl a sweet pudding dessert would be.

So much to learn to make it work for me rather than just expect it to find my ancestors and info about them when it will use third party family trees which may have dubious integrity.

I could ask AI similarly for contextual info for occupations of my ancestors in that place and that time. #GenealogyStories #Genealogy ....../🧵

I now need to try all the questions and save them for my story telling of ancestors living there during the time period. ....../ 🧵

I learned to tell it the place I was interested in and the time period and then asked it to give me some useful questions to ask it about that. Co-Pilot gave me some great questions which I have saved. I tried one as a trial and answer was very comprehensive. ..../🧵

Evening Andrew. Not done a lot of research other than newspaper at the minute. Now gone down the rabbit hole of useful prompts for AI so I can write my genealogy from information I give it. #GenHour
