The past few years, I’ve been compiling my top 10 travel destinations for the year ahead using a random generator instead of adopting to the usual formula of picking places that are celebrating important anniversaries, hosting major events or are places that the writer is sucking up to in order to score a press trip or maybe as a thank you for a previous trip. Instead, seeing that OpenAI’s ChatGPT is the hotness this year, I asked it to write a top 10 list for me. Here it is, completely unedited:
