ChatGPT and the suite of OpenAI projects (particularly Bing's new AI offering) have been in the news a lot lately and it got me wondering, what would happen if I asked ChatGPT to plan an itinerary in Paris? Would it work? Would it be amazing or terrible?

In all honesty, I found the results impressive. Granted the itinerary itself was obvious and impractical, but it wasn't the quality that impressed me so much as the interaction and the fact that it could spontaneously generate an itinerary at all, let alone an itinerary for Paris that was loosely sensible. Would I recommend following it? No. But is there a huge potential in tools like this for travelers in the future? Absolutely.

I also think that there are a lot of people in my related fields, whether creative or tourism, that still don't think of this as a game changer (whether threat or helpful tool). I don't have any answers myself, but it's something I'll certainly be thinking about a lot.

FAQ:
How long have you lived in France? Almost six years now, holy cow.

What do you miss most about ho- NACHOS

You're always talking about living on some ship. WHAT SHIP? - I made a "Draw My Life" video that explains a lot here: https://youtu.be/-MrvL37jTKM

Where are you from originally? - Pullman, Washington - a small university/agricultural town near Idaho (and yes, the potatoes are amazing).

What do you film with? - I've made a lot of changes recently, but I try to keep my gear list up to date if you want to see what I use and buy some for yourself: http://bit.ly/JaysGearList

What do you edit with? - Adobe Premiere - it's pretty much all I've ever used since high school.

Aren't you ever freaked out by leaving your camera behind to film yourself? - Yep. But not too badly - I tend to be careful when I do.

Why are you living in #Paris? - Because I've always wanted to; I feel at home here: https://youtu.be/4Vivf6MqMxQ

Do you speak French? - Oui. https://youtu.be/va1QjaHgij8

Do you make money off YouTube? - Ha, sorta. I wish. It took me over 500 videos to make my first total $100 off adsense. I think it will slowly change, but VERY slowly.

I really enjoy your videos, how can I support you? - The easiest and best way to support me is through Patreon, where you can pitch in as little as $5/mo to help me make better videos: http://patreon.com/jayswanson

I don't trust this Patreon thing - can I just paypal you? - Here's my ko-fi if that's your thing (and coffee is your game): https://ko-fi.com/jayswanson

But I want to send you something tangible! - I do have a wishlist on Amazon, though it's a bit complicated with the international shipping situation. So instead people often drop off or ship things to the Peloton Cafe in Paris for me.

Thanks for watching!
