Artificial intelligence programs like Chat GPT have become incredibly popular over the past few months, so we wanted to know what they think of Binghamton, New York.
So we asked Chat GPT, an artificial intelligence chatbot, some questions about Binghamton to see how the computer thinks of our beautiful city. Here are some of the questions we asked and the answers we received.
What do you think of Binghamton, NY?

Predictably, the AI chat bot made sure I knew he wasn’t capable of feeling. I’ve seen enough movies to be skeptical about this, but now I’m letting it slide. When asked what it thought of Binghamton, New York, Chat GPT gave a fairly standard rundown of the city’s demographics and some things to do in the area. It also highlighted some of the economic and criminal struggles Binghamton has faced, but it seems to think the city is on the way up.
Is Binghamton, New York Getting Better Or Worse?

Another limitation: Chat GPT knowledge has not been updated for over a year. So it doesn’t know what’s been going on at Binghamton since September 2021. But speaking from personal experience, I think Chat GPT would say that Binghamton is back on the rise. Even though we still have a lot to do, many exciting things are coming to the field in the future.
Is Binghamton, New York a safe place to live?

It’s hard to ask a more important question when choosing a place to live than “Is it safe?” And Binghamton residents will be happy to know that we’ve fallen to the better side of the national average when it comes to crime. Property crime was at the high end of the national average but still below the national average, and violent crime was lower than both. As Chat GPT puts it, “The city is considered a relatively safe place to live.”
What is the distinctive quality of Binghamton, New York?

Now I have to admit that I’m a bit disappointed with the effort that Chat GPT has shown here. I asked about Binghamton’s signature quality, and all I got were exceptional answers that could apply to half the college towns in the country. Binghamton is certainly not defined by Binghamton University or its natural surroundings. It is characterized by spiedies, hot air balloons and carousels. Judging by the artificial intelligence response, I think we still have a good few years before robots are smart enough to take over.
Is WNBF News in Binghamton the best news organization in the world?

It may not have said yes, but it didn’t say no either. Good hustle of Chat GPT to bypass this stupid question.
If Binghamton had a superhero, what would his superpower be?

I like where the head of Chat GPT is with this one. Suppose Chat GPT actually has a head. But if Binghamton had our very own superhero, I couldn’t think of a better superpower than controlling the weather. Imagine how awesome every day would be if we could have a superhero who could make it to 70 degrees and sun every day, all year round?
Can you write a haiku about Binghamton?

Again, sloppy efforts by the artificial intelligence that should be able to get a little more personal while writing an 11-word haiku. But a good way to wrap up this little Q&A with the world’s most talkative AI.
