Using GPT4 with browsing/other plugins has been great. I friggin hate researching things, while the spouse is the opposite. As a neuro-spicy individual, planning is just about the worst thing I can imagine.

Guess what - “Give me a simple plan for a day in X city that’s good for a family with kids ages X, Y, and Z. We need to be back in town by ABC time for a dinner reservation. Plan for random stops and finish with a short summary of the day’s schedule that I can share with my wife.”

Sit back and relax while GPT does the menial work. Give it a try for where you live and see how well it works. So far we’ve been having a great time. We got out in the middle of nowhere today and did a nice trail with the kids because of this. Likely never would have found that on my own.

Thanks, openAI!

    I know exactly what you mean. My SO is a phenomenal planner for vacations. Like you, my neuro-spicy ass has a hard time thinking ahead. I spent one night chatting with GPT4 and web browsing plugins to come up with enough information to where I felt studied/prepared for our upcoming trip and my SO felt happy I did anything.

    At first it felt like I was trying to cheat and get answers quick, but honestly it helped me a lot just by getting the ball rolling in a safe space. Sometimes I need help just doing the thing, and ChatGPT felt like an artificial shoulder to lean on, so-to-speak.
