A Genealogist's Hallowe'en Tricks and Treats From Artificial Intelligence

The freely available Artificial Intelligence tools didn't fail me today.  I used a prompt for Hallowe'en words and some genealogy-related words:

Please create a realistic image of Halloween including family tree, ancestors, descendants, gravestones, ghost stories, haunted houses, monster mash, witches, carved pumpkins with candles, trick-or-treat and any other cool Halloween words.

Voila, ChatGPT4 created:

And a ChatGPT4 poem for the day:

A Halloween Family Tree

Under the full moon’s ghostly light,
The family tree takes shape tonight.
With roots that twist through shadowed ground,
Ancestors’ whispers circle ‘round.

From gravestones cold and marble white,
Descendants gather for the sight.
Echoes of lives from long ago
In haunted houses stir below.

Ghost stories rise, on winds they ride,
Of those who walked here, side by side.
A witch’s cackle fills the air,
Her potions bubble with a glare.

Pumpkins grin with candle glow,
Faces carved from long ago.
Children dance in costumes bright,
Trick-or-treating through the night.

A monster mash, a ghoulish cheer,
As kin of past and present near.
Each spirit, ghost, and spectral scene,
Alive within this Halloween.

With the same prompt on Meta AI:

Here's the Meta AI created poem:

A Halloween Legacy

In twilight's hush, where shadows play,
Our family tree, a haunted sway,
Ancestors whisper, their stories told,
Descendants gather, young and old.
Gravestones creak, with eerie sighs,
Ghost stories shared, beneath the skies,
Haunted houses loom, with witches' might,
As monsters mash, through the endless night.
Carved pumpkins grin, with candlelight,
As trick-or-treaters take flight,
Through streets alive, with spooky delight,
In search of treats, on this haunted night.
Witches weave, their spells of old,
As bats and goblins, tales unfold,
Our family legacy, a Halloween dream,
Where ancestors dance, and spirits gleam.
So let us celebrate, this spooky night,
With monsters, ghosts, and witches' light,
For in our roots, a haunted past,
Lies a Halloween, that will forever last.
I couldn't resist a Hallowe'en song.  Here it is, from Meta AI song lyrics, on Suno.com  - "A Family Hallowe'en."

Are you a poet (with AI or on your own)?  Show me yours.  I'm an uncreative aerospace engineer - I showed you mine!!
