For each attraction, please provide a brief description of what makes it special and why you believe it is worth visiting. Feel free to provide any anecdotes or recommendations to make your list even more compelling. Your answer should be informative and engaging to a wide audience, including first-time visitors to Paris and seasoned travellers

Languages & Truth

ChatGPT can understand a wide range of languages.

Chinese (Simplified) Advanced, Chinese (Traditional) Advanced, Dutch Advanced, French Advanced, German Advanced, Italian Advanced, Japanese Advanced, Korean Advanced, Portuguese Advanced, Russian Advanced, Spanish Advanced.

Is It True?

At this point even with live / plugin access the cost estimates are purely ‘ballpark’, nothing more. Overall please use your own judgement & cross check since the AI may be making things up. Whilst somewhat ironic you may wish to pack a current guide book, a real book!

Wrapping Up

TL;DR:

For regular users of Large Language Models (LLMs), there are some best practices to keep in mind. Firstly, provide clear and specific prompts to get accurate and relevant responses. Experiment with temperature settings to adjust the level of randomness in the generated text. Be aware that LLMs may sometimes produce incorrect or biased information, so verify outputs when necessary. Remember that LLMs lack true understanding, so use them as tools for assistance rather than relying solely on their responses. Finally, be mindful of ethical considerations and responsible use when engaging with LLMs for various purposes.
