Travel Podcasting With ChatGPT
Listen now
Description
Hello! Yep, I've created a podcast with the help of AI, in this case specifically ChatGPT. Now, the first question you might ask is of me is why, given my skill with words, my unique and distinct voice, both literal and metaphoric, and a preference for real stories and experiences over auto-generated ones, am I dabbling with AI? Well, the answer is manyfold, as you'll find out. What I look at here is how useful AI would be in creating content, assessing how good the information it provides is, and wondering whether it's something we should be embracing or something we need to be fearful of. Topics covered on this podcast include: * I'm leaving Glasgow (soon) * My expectations and understanding of AI * Getting AI to come up with a list of questions to ask on a podcast about remote places * Getting AI to answer said list of questions * Assessing the viability of AI's answers * ChatGPT finds cute cafes in Glasgow * How AI would explore its hometown * What AI thinks about hiking barefoot * Travelling as a non-binary person seems to be at the edge of its knowledge * A Listicle about Solo Travel * ChatGPT and beer * Conclusions, usefulness, limitations, and things to be aware of There are no contributions in this episode, unless you count ChatGPT itself. Voices for ChatGPT were provided by free online text-to-speech websites, by the way, and I tried to mix them up a bit. A PDF transcript of this episode is available. As always, if you have anything to say about the topic, or indeed about my podcasting in general, leave a comment or let me know. I have a newsletter with extra content, and where I'll be mentioning future podcast episodes if you want to make your own contribution. I also have a Patreon - if you like what you hear, and want to access exclusive content (or just to show your appreciation), then head on over. Until next time, bye for now. :)

Hello :) I often say "Everywhere Is Interesting", but what do I mean when I say that? What makes a place 'interesting'? Or rather, given any random place in the world, what can make you 'key in' to that location over and above any other? Of course, this could be very personal, or at least...
