The weekend is finally here, and you might want to get out and about with the family for a great day out.

Well, The Lancashire Telegraph decided to ask Chat GPT, an artificial intelligence chatbot developed by Open AI, to share the best places for a day out.

Asking the software “please could you tell me the 5 best days out in Blackburn with Darwen”, the AI Chatbox responded with these five suggestions for ‘fun days out’:
