What Does AI Think About Holidays in Suffolk? We asked the question…

Exiting the realm of science fiction and propelling itself into the mainstream, artificial intelligence has taken the news by storm over the past month. Debate has abounded around the efficacy and ethics of turning to artificial intelligence when solving our problems. From broadsheet papers to social media, everyone seems to be asking “Will it take everyone’s jobs?”, “Can it be trusted to drive the car?”, and “Was the Terminator a prophetic foreshadowing and not simply the imaginings of paranoid Hollywood hotshots?”. Always keen to test out new things for ourselves, we decided to ask ChatGPT, a sophisticated chatbot, what it thought about Suffolk.

Question: Why Should I Take a Holiday to Suffolk?

Answer:

1. Scenic countryside and coastal towns: Suffolk is home to rolling hills, rural landscapes and charming coastal towns that are perfect for exploring on foot or by bike.
2. Rich cultural heritage: Suffolk is full of historic sites and cultural attractions, including mediaeval castles, beautiful churches and modern art museums.
3. Unique food and drink: Suffolk is known for its local produce, including the famous Suffolk ham, local ales and wines.
4. Relaxing atmosphere: With its laid-back pace of life, Suffolk is the perfect destination for a relaxing break away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
5. Wildlife and nature: Suffolk is home to a rich variety of wildlife, including many species of birds, making it an ideal destination for nature enthusiasts.

On the basis of this response, maybe I should be concerned that I pursued writing as a career; the answer is entirely accurate and I very much doubt the chatbot has a habit of sending emails at strange hours of the day. Let’s ask another question to make sure it isn’t a fluke.

What dog friendly things are there to do in Suffolk?

Answer:

1. Beaches: Suffolk has several dog-friendly beaches where you and your furry friend can enjoy the sun and sea.
2. Coastal walks: Take a walk along the stunning Suffolk coastline, with many walks offering stunning views and plenty of space for dogs to run and play.
3. National Trust properties: Many National Trust properties in Suffolk, including gardens and parks, welcome dogs on leads.
4. Country parks: Suffolk is home to many picturesque country parks that are ideal for a leisurely stroll with your dog.
5. Pet-friendly pubs and cafes: There are many pubs and cafes in Suffolk that welcome dogs, so you can enjoy a bite to eat or a drink with your pet by your side.

And breathe. It seems that, as correct as ChatGPT is, it’s largely echoing the sound advice we’ve made in similar blogs like 5 of the Best Dog Friendly Beaches in Suffolk. In articles like this, and others across the blog, you’ll see plenty of references to ‘furry friends’, ‘picturesque country parks’, and places to ‘enjoy a bite to eat’. Evidently, there’s still room for writers who take the time to research and explore Suffolk to provide chatbots with the information they need to produce accurate content.

Let’s take one last roll of the dice, just for luck:

Hopefully, there’s still a future for writers yet…
