Tomorrow I fly to Brooklyn for ten days of genealogy research on the Plunkett, Dowling, McAuliffe, and Sten lines. Before the trip starts rewriting everything, I want to show you how I planned it. The Master Trip Plan runs 66 pages and went through thirty-six revisions between July and today. I built it with AI, and I want to be honest about what that looked like. Perplexity did the parish research. Copilot and ChatGPT drafted and revised the request letters. Claude built and rebuilt the plan itself, and the revision history at the top of it turned into the most honest record I have of this trip. Most of the corrections were mine. The churches confused the tool more than once. This is Day 0 of a daily series. Every post after this is short: what the plan said, what happened, what changed.
