What AI says you should do in the Tampa Bay area

We let artificial intelligence plan a day for us in Tampa and the Burg, here’s how it turned out.

We like to think we share the best recommendations for what to get up to in TBAY. But we thought we’d let artificial intelligence lead us on a day across Tampa + the Burg.

We asked Deep AI, “What should we do in the Tampa Bay, Florida area?” The generator suggested:

“In the Tampa Bay, Florida area, there are plenty of activities to enjoy such as visiting the renowned Busch Gardens theme park, exploring the historic Ybor City, relaxing on the white sandy beaches of Clearwater and St. Pete, taking a stroll along the Tampa Riverwalk, or catching a game at Tropicana Field to cheer on the Tampa Bay Rays. Whatever your interests may be, there is something for everyone to enjoy in this vibrant and diverse region.”

Well we can’t argue with that. But we know you can up the ante — share how you’d entertain, and we might just put it in the newsletter.
