ChatGPT, the online chatbot that launched at the end of last year to great curiosity, has made headlines for its impressive ability to answer questions and solve problems at rapid speed.
It is also capable of planning an entire day of activities when given a location, offering recommendations for the best things to see and do.
When the Yorkshire Evening Post asked ChatGPT to describe the perfect day in Leeds, it returned a full itinerary of activities for the morning, lunchtime, afternoon, evening and night in the city.
But is this the best way to spend a few hours in Leeds? Here are the chatbot's recommendations –
