Your AI Generated CES Guide

I have been to CES, but I don't pretend to be a CES guru or expert. I enjoyed my time, but it is an incredibly overwhelming experience. However, as we get close to CES 2024 I wondered what an AI guide might look like for CES. You already have the CES App which is critical for attendees, and everyone has swag to collect, whether backpacks, hoodies, chargers, cables or stuffed animals...there is something for everyone to get through the event. But I thought about how much there is to see, how far everything is from each other and how much people miss, even when they are in Vegas for a few days. So, I started playing around with ChatGPT to produce CES tour schedules or a CES guide.

This is far from perfect, but hopefully helpful for those attending...especially those who don't have scheduled in person tour guides. This doesn't account for all the walking time between booths and mapping out booths near each other, the wait times for cabs, the time you really need for meals, or the specific wayfinding that can be so cumbersome. It did suggest some tips like wear your walking shoes, drink lots of water and try to discover something unexpected. Additionally, this showed me a bias in that a lot of ChatGPT's recommendations where clearly directly or indirectly related to AI. There is so much more at CES, but these are also topics that interest me. With all of that being said, here is a CES Guide brought to you from a few prompts with ChatGPT (GPT-4):
