A travel expert who used AI to plan a day out in London says ChatGPT can help "push people outside of their comfort zone" and "find new things".
Paul Taylor, 41, used the chatbot to organise an itinerary for a day trip to London.
Paul travels the world alongside his wife, Chiaki, 42, a program manager, creating video content for his YouTube channel giving reviews and travel guides of locations.
He has lived in South East London, for over 20 years and wanted to see if ChatGPT was as good as his recommendations for people visiting London for the first time.

00:00 So, after confirmation of being a human, I tentatively asked what felt like a simple
00:05 opening question.
00:07 And then, this happened.
00:25 And there it was, a full day's London itinerary in 20 seconds.
00:29 Now what sets this aside from a fixed Google result is that you can poke chatGPT further,
00:35 tweaking or probing more, exactly as you might with a concierge in your hotel.
00:39 It's an artificially intelligent, free-flowing conversation.
00:43 So I asked some follow-ups.
00:45 When does Westminster Abbey open and how much is it?
00:47 Where's the best spot for watching the Changing of the Guards?
00:49 How much do you think is a good amount to donate at the British Museum?
00:52 Any streets around Covent Garden I should check out?
00:54 What fish and chip restaurants would you suggest?
00:56 With all my research complete in 5 minutes, I was done and ready for my first day in London.
