If you asked AI to describe the Capital Region what do you think it would say?

Obviously Rebecca Lobo, and many of you, had some negative things to say about the Capital Region. We thought, maybe we need to get another party involved who doesn't have a preformulated opinion on the are already.

Enter AI!

While we agree, artificial intelligence can be a scary tool, it can also be very entertaining as well.

ChatGPT will answer questions you pose it, and sometimes it does have some pretty good ideas. It's a little troubling to know that it can just find all of this information so quickly, though.

So what did it think of our area? Here's what we asked:

One thing I have learned in dealing with AI is that it isn't really that honest. It only points out the positive, but you really do need some negative to fully know an area. I think that's what make sus locals the real deal. While we love our communities we aren't afraid to paint the full picture for you.

Do I love Albany? Yes. Are there areas I wouldn't go near? Absolutely. But that is normal for any city in any place in the world.
