Honestly, if this post was not required, it wouldn't exist. I prefer listening, gleaning, commenting a little here and there, and posting only when I have something important to say or ask. That is not a reflection of my creativity, leadership or communication skills, or ability to build something new; just a preferred group learning approach, particularly when I'm in the "development" phase of something. My name is Peg. I am a retired meeting manager/consultant and passionate genealogical researcher/instructor. I joined this group with an eye on starting a new phase in life, and plan to use AI to both streamline my processes and promote my and my husband's services/products presently in development. I primarily use ChatGPT and Perplexity, and have experimented with others, but realize I've only dipped a toe in the bucket. I have taken some classes on how to use it for research purposes and look forward to learning more.
